Letter Songtext
von Rhiannon Giddens with Francesco Turrisi

Gonna write me a letter
Gonna send it by the foam
Gonna send it to my baby
Gonna beg him to come home

Said he wanted for me to marry
My pa, he said, "No"
Said that he didn′t like him
Said that he would have to go

He's gone
He′s gone
He's gone


So I followed him to the river
Watched him sail away on the foam
Now he's left me here broken hearted
Broken hearted and alone

He′s gone
He′s gone
He's gone
He′s gone

Gonna write me a letter
Gonna send it by the foam
Gonna send it to my baby
Gonna beg him to come home


Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
