NO LETTER IN THE MAIL
(Written by Bill Carlisle / Bobby Gregory)
Bill Monroe - October 7, 1940


No answer to my letter
To soothe my aching heart
Oh why did God ever permit
True love like ours to part

(Chorus:)
No letter in the mail today
No answer from my love
Nobody knows what I've been through
No one but God above

This is what I wrote to her
I know that I'm to blame
I know that I have brok'n your heart
And then I signed my name

(Repeat Chorus)

I'm traveling down this road today
Yes traveling my last time
If there's no letter in the box
I'm leaving this world behind

(Repeat Chorus)
