I told my tale with some words From jail and a Bible vow But fear and fury were my judge and Jury so here I am now There was a letter
A hundred letters I wrote a letter It said "Hi! Mr. President I hope You're fit and strong" And I hope you'll give me every Chance to live because they done me wrong
My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes Love I will never have known My hope lies in Elisabeth's eyes Alone
Still reeling I detect a feeling that I'm here to stay Somebody locked me up Somebody threw my key away I got a letter A single letter I read the letter It said "Hang in there boy I am fighting for you still" It was then I knew I really loved her too I guess I always will
(Chorus)
Another letter The last letter I wrote a letter It said "Don't cry lady, you really shouldn't care" Tuesday at seven I will find my heaven And I'll see you there
