G
You should know my little darling, 
        G        D                      G
You left my poor heart in distress.
***Chorus***:
   G
I got a letter from my darling,
        G                      D
She said she hated to go.
  G
It broke my heart the words she wrote me,
        G           D                       G
She closed by saying I love you so.
**********************
G
This letter meant goodbye forever,
G                            D
Though we'll have each other's hearts.
G
Our love will fade away in sadness,
        G        D                      G
Precious one why do we have to part?

***Chorus
G
She wrote the words she knew would hurt me,
G                            D
She said I never could be true.
G
I've tried, I'ved tried my little darling,
        G        D                      G
To prove my love was just for you.

***Chorus
