ERSE 1
Just received your letter
An' I read it through an' through
I didn't think that
That's all I meant to you
VERSE 2
But if you wish to leave me
I bid you free to go
Although you may regret it
I'll tell you, told you so
VERSE 3
Yes, you may have your picture
Your letter an' your ring
But darlin' please do keep them
For their all my only thing
VERSE 4
Now, when you 'er miles away, dear
An' should you think of me
You know that I'll be waitin'
An' will always be
VERSE 5
I may add, my darling
No matter what may come
I will not be sorry
For anything I've done
VERSE 6
Yes, you may have your picture
Your letter an' your ring
But darlin' please do keep them
For they were my everything
