Carter Family Songs Lyrics & Chords
The last letter
The last letter
Why do you treat me as if I were
only a friend
What have I done that has made you so bitter and cold
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be
contented again
Will you be happy when we are
withered and old
I cannot offer you diamonds and
mansions so fine
I cannot offer you clothes that your
young body craves
But if you'll only say that you'll
forever be mine Think of the heartaches, the pain and suffering you'll save
While I am writing this letter I
think of the past And of the promises that you have broken so free
But to this old world, I'll soon bid
my farewell at last
I will be gone when you read this
last letter from me
