Death Letter

This be the way my letter read

I got a letter this morning
This be the way my letter read

I got a letter this morning
This be the way my letter read

Say you better come on home farmer John
(Say you better come on home farmer John)
Help me your baby is dead

Come on, come on, come on home
Come on, come on, come on home
Come on, come on, come on home
Come on, come on, come on home
Come on, come on, come on home
Come on, come on, come on home

I was about to write a letter
But I believe I go myself
(I believe, I believe)

I was about to write a letter
But I believe I go myself

They tell me letter get stole
And a telegram get left

No I ain't going,
(Going going no)
To my baby burying ground

No I ain't going
To my baby burying ground
