Dropped A Letter Lyrics

I dropped a letter

In the postbox today

She'll get it in a week

The postman did say

I asked for a dollar

Will you deliver it now?

I know she's alone and waiting

But I can't get out of town

I dropped a letter

In the postbox today

He'll deliver it himself

The postman did say

I know she'll get my letter

So I'm waiting for her to show

I'm waiting in the sunshine

Howling wind and snow

It must have been after

Several weeks gone by

I went to the postbox

With my head still held high

There was a new postman

He had a letter that day

It was from darling

And it did say

I found me another

He's hardworking strong and true

And in his hands a letter

So I'm writing this to you

Don't write no letters

Don't write no more

They'll just wind up unread

And lying on the floor

The story ends the way

The way they always do

Unread and unwritten

Nothing's ever new
