I got a letter from my mama just a line or two She said listen daddy your good girl's leavin' you That's all she wrote didn't write no more She'd left the gloom a hanging round my front door Now I woke up this morning a quarter past three I just couldn't realize this could happen to me That's all she wrote Now listen pretty mama you know you done me wrong Didn't even give a warning till after you were gone That's all you wrote [ guitar ] Now someday you'll be sorry your heart will ache with pain You'd give a million dollars to write that note again That's all you wrote Now listen all you ramblers who think your girl is true Don't ever be too certain or you'll be singing too That's all she wrote I'll always love you honey although you done me wrong But when you ask forgiveness I'll just say travel on That's all I'll write won't write more The gloom will then be hanging round your front door
