Subject: Lyr Add: LETTER FROM DOWN THE ROAD (Hedy West) From: Reinhard Date: 27 Aug 18 - 12:34 PM This is what I hear. You can check it on Youtube which has her whole album. LETTER FROM DOWN THE ROAD As recorded by Hedy West on "Hedy West" Vanguard VRS 9124 (1963) Chorus (after each verse): I had a letter from down the road I had a letter from down the road Don't it make you sorry, don't it make you mourn Studying on that poor boy killed in Baltimore Went up on the mountain top to cut my sugar cane Every time I'd cut a stalk, I'd think on Liza Jane If I had a bandbox to put my true love in I'd take her out and I'd kiss her then I'd put her back again Wish I had a needle as good as I could sew Sew my true love on my back and down the road I'd go Wish I had a needle as fine as any pin I'd sew my true love on my back and down the road again Massa had a pretty little girl brought her from the South Her hair so tight on the top of her head she couldn't even close her mouth Head was like a coffee pot, nose was like a spout Mouth was like an old fireplace with the ashes shoveled out Took her to a barbershop to have her mouth made small Opened up her mouth so big and wide she swallowed the barber and all Wish I had a new brick house fifteen stories high And every story in the house was filled with possum pie |
