Gonna Write Me a Letter
Lalenja Harrington, Rhiannon Giddens Laffan
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 all 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
