No Letter in the Mail - Bill Monroe

No answer to my love letter

To sooth my achin heart

Why did God ever permit

True love like ours to part

No letter in the mail today

No answer from my love

Nobody knows what I’ve been through

No one but God above

This is what I wrote to her

I know I’m to blame

Let me prove my love for you

Then I’ll sign my name

I’m walking down this lonesome road

Travellin while I pine

If there’s no letter in the box

I’ll leave this world behind
