When the postman delivered a letter. It filled her dear heart full of joy. But she didn't know till she read the inside. It was the last one from her darling boy.
Someday you'll call my name and I won't answer. Someday you'll reach for me I won't be there. For you've grown tired of all the love I gave you. But someday you'll wish that I still care.
Seems I always have to slip around. To be with you, my dear. Slippin' around. Afraid we might be found. . I know I can't forget you. And I've got to have you near.
Seems I always have to slip around. To be with you, my dear. Slippin' around. Afraid we might be found. . I know I can't forget you. And I've got to have you near.
The warden let the prisoner down the hallway to his doom. And I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest. And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell.
Signed sealed and delivered a package containing my heart. To open remove the wrapper but please don't tear it apart. You tore out this heart when you left me you left me so sad and so blue.
In the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia there's a girl who is waitin' just for me. Many times we walked in the moonlight and in her loving arms I long to be.
I don't worry anymore like I did before she's not leaving she's already gone. And I won't be slipping round afraid I might be found. For she won't be waitin' round when I get home.
She's looking better by the minute well I don't know what's in it. That makes the drink turn a poor boy's head. She's not much to look at a little old and a little fat.
She's a big city girl in so many ways she walks and she talks up town. But she's got something hard to find now-a-days that keeps me hangin' around. She's a little bit country makes me think of meadows and clover.
Loving me to you seems such a bother you made it easy for me to love another. So don't blame her for stealing me you let her. And where your love stopped she went a little bit father.
She called me baby baby all night long used to hold and kiss me till the dawn. Then one day I awoke and she was gone there's no more baby baby all night long.
I've tried to drive away her memory but each night it comes back to torture me. Cause once again there she is right on time. When she goes walking through my mind.
[Chorus]. I'm on my way to Italy from the Gulf of Mexico. Riding on a tanker, and feeling mighty low. My good gal's behind me, no lovin' for so long. I'm going back to Texas, cause that's where I belong.
Send me the pillow that you dream on. Don't you know that I still care for you. Send me the pillow that you dream on. So darling I can dream on it too.
Deep within my heart lies a melody. A song of old San Antone. Where in dreams I live with a memory. Beneath the stars all alone. It was there I found beside the Alamo.
Saturday satan Sunday saint foolin' your neighbors that's what you think. Readin' the good book singin' the hymns. Come Monday morning and he's back to a life of sin.
Please release me let me go I don't love you anymore. To live together is a sin release and let me love again. I have found a new love dear and I'll always want her near.
The sweetest songs belong to lovers in the gloaming. The sweetest days are the days that used to be. The saddest words I ever heard were words of parting.
Precious mem'ries unseen angels sent from somewhere to my soul. How they linger ever near me and the sacred past unfolds. Precious mem'ries how they linger how they ever flood my soul.
