A Letter Home

Hello, baby
Just a little letter home
Hello, baby
Just a little letter home
You know all I wanna know, woman
Are you still all alone?
I want you to tell me, baby
Please come on and tell me the truth
I want you to tell me, baby
Please come on and tell me the truth
Now, baby, should I come home?
Or really, honey child, is there any use?
I know I've been gone so long
I know things ain't what they used to be
Well, I've been gone so long
I know things ain't what they used to be
But I've had all my troubles
There's nothing else can worry me
Now if you got somebody else, baby
I'm gonna run on to another town
I said if you got somebody else, woman
Then I'll go on to another town
Because I'll never lay around here
And let you and shorty bring me down
