Текст пісні
I got a letter from my true love up in Baltimore
He said if I would be his love, he'd never roam no more
I got a letter from down the road
I got a letter from down the road
He took me to his parlor and he got down on one knee
I swear he's the prettiest thing that this girl ever did see
I got a letter from down the road
I got a letter from down the road
I wish I had a new made house on the new cut ground
I'd take my true love by the hand and with him I'd lay down
I got a letter from down the road
I got a letter from down the road
I'm going up on the mountain to watch the sun rise high
I don't know if I'll ever come back, I'll stay here 'til I die
I got a letter from down the road
I got a letter from down the road
I don't want to go to heaven, I don't want to go below
Just want to stay with my true love until the trumpet blows
