Well the mailman brought me a letter
And this is what it said
Yes the mailman brought me a letter
And this is what it said

I got the blues in a letter
Let me tell you just how it went

Well she said my wonderful darling
Just just a few nights to let you know
Well she said my wonderful wonderful darling
Just a few nights to let you know

I found myself a new man
So so I've got to let you go

Tell me tell me mailman
Why did you bring me sad news
Now I lost my baby
I ain't got nothing but the blues
So so so here I stand
Broken-hearted and all alone

So so if you happen to see my baby
Tell her to please come back home
