Well, I came home this mornin'
There was a note hanging on my door
She said, ''This time I'm a leavin' you
And I won't be back no more.''

Yeah, yeah and that's all
That's all she wrote.

She said, ''I used to love you
When you were nice and kind
But the way you've been treatin' me lately, baby
Done drove me outta my mind.''

Yeah, yeah and that's all
That's all she wrote.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, my hands began to tremble
As slowly I read on
She said, ''You won't hurt me no more
GoodBye, good luck, I'm gone.''

Yeah, yeah and that's all
That's all she wrote.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I stand here by this river
With her letter in my hand
I'm gonna let that river take me
Goodbye, this is the end.

Yeah, yeah and that's all
That's all she wrote...

--- Instrumental to fade ---
