No Letter In The Mail Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

No answer to my love letter 

To sooth my achin heart 

Why did God ever permit 

True love like ours to part 

No letter in the mail today 

No answer from my love 

Nobody knows what I've been through 

No one but God above 

This is what I wrote to her 

I know I'm to blame 

Let me prove my love for you 

Then I'll sign my name 

I'm walking down this lonesome road 

Travellin while I pine 

If there's no letter in the box 

I'll leave this world behind
