Letters Have No Arms

I just got your letter, dearest sweetheart

And, darlin', I miss you, oh, so much

Your letter has cheered me, but, I'm lonesome

Lonesome, just to feel your lovin' touch

Letters have no arms, dear, to hold me

Kisses on paper are so cold

These sweet things you write in your letter

I wanna be with you, dear, when told

Letters never bring me the touch of your hand

Or, none of your sweet, lovin' charms

I get so lonesome for you, darlin'

And, you know that letters have no arms

Aw, Billy Byrd, now

Letters have no arms, dear, to hold me

Kisses on paper are so cold

These sweet things you write in your letter

I wanna be with you, dear, when told

Letters never bring me the touch of your hand

Or, none of your sweet, lovin' charms

I get so lonesome for you, darlin'

And, you know that letters have no arms
