LETTER AND A RING
(Conway Twitty / Joe Lewis)

Conway Twitty - 1971



 
I came home this morning, I looked around
I called out to my darling, but not a sound
And there upon the table by an old love magazine
Was a letter from my baby and a golden wedding ring

The table told a story I can't forget
A half a cup of coffee and a half smoked cigarette
I could see she'd waited, hoping I'd come home
But some coffee and the cigarette told me that she was gone

I opened up the letter and read the tear-stained lines
My world for me was ending right before my eyes
She said, "I set you free now, go on and have your fling"
And all my baby left me was a letter and a ring

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh, was a letter and a ring)
