A Letter from My Darling - Bill Monroe

I can’t answer her letter

For she left me no address

You should know my little darling

You left my poor heart in distress

I got a letter from my darling

She said she hated to go

It broke my heart the words she wrote me

She closed by saying I love you so

She wrote the words she knew would hurt me

She said I never could be true

I’ve tried I’ve tried my little darling

To prove my love was just for you

This letter meant goodbye forever

Though we’ll have each other’s hearts

Our love will fade away in sadness

Precious one why did we have to part
