[Verse 1]
I got a letter from my mama, just a line or two
She said, "Listen, Daddy, your good gal's leaving you"
That's all she wrote (that's all she wrote)
Didn't write no more (didn't write no more)
She left a gloom a-hanging 'round my front door

[Verse 2]
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 (that's all she wrote)
Didn't write no more (didn't write no more)
She left a gloom a-hanging 'round my front door

[Verse 3]
Now listen, pretty mama, you know you done me wrong
Didn't even give a warning 'til after you were gone
That's all you wrote (that's all she wrote)
Didn't write no more (didn't write no more)
You left a gloom a-hanging 'round my front door

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
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 (that's all she wrote)
Didn't write no more (didn't write no more)
You left a gloom a-hanging 'round my front door
[Verse 5]
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 (that's all she wrote)
Didn't write no more (didn't write no more)
She left a gloom a-hanging 'round my front door

[Verse 6]
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 (that's all he'll write)
Won't write no more (won't write no more)
The gloom will then be hanging 'round your front door
