The Last Letter - Tennessee Ernie Ford

Why do you treat me

As if I was only a friend

What have I done

That has made you

So different and cold

Sometimes I wonder if

You'll be contented again

Will you be happy when you

Are withered and old

I cannot offer you diamonds

Or mansions so fine

I cannot offer you clothes

That your young body crave

But if you'll say that you long

To forever be mine

Think of the heartaches the

Teardrops and sorrow you'll save

When you are lonely and

Tired of another man's gold

When you are weary

Remember this letter my own

Don't try to answer though

I've suffered angry untold

If you don't love me

I wish you would leave me alone

While I am writing this

Letter I think of the past

And of the promises that

You have broken so free

And to this world I'll

Soon say my farewell at last

I will be gone when you read

This last letter from me
