That's All She Wrote

I got a letter from my mama just a line or two

She said listen daddy your good girl's leavin' you

That's all she wrote didn't write no more

She'd left the gloom a hanging round my front door

Now I woke up this morning a quarter past three

I just couldn't realize this could happen to me

That's all she wrote...

Now listen pretty mama you know you done me wrong

Didn't even give a warning till after you were gone

That's all you wrote...

Now someday you'll be sorry your heart will ache with pain

You'd give a million dollars to write that note again

That's all you wrote...

Now listen all you ramblers who think your girl is true

Don't ever be too certain or you'll be singing too

That's all she wrote...

I'll always love you honey although you done me wrong

But when you ask forgiveness I'll just say travel on

That's all I'll write won't write more

The gloom will then be hanging round your front door
