Letter From Down the Road / And Other Things

I got a letter from my true love up in Baltimore

He said if I would be his love, he'd never roam no more

I got a letter from down the road

I got a letter from down the road

He took me to his parlor and he got down on one knee

I swear he's the prettiest thing that this girl ever did see

I got a letter from down the road

I got a letter from down the road

I wish I had a new made house on the new cut ground

I'd take my true love by the hand and with him I'd lay down

I got a letter from down the road

I got a letter from down the road

I'm going up on the mountain to watch the sun rise high

I don't know if I'll ever come back, I'll stay here 'til I die

I got a letter from down the road

I got a letter from down the road

I don't want to go to heaven, I don't want to go below

Just want to stay with my true love until the trumpet blows
