As you read this letter that I write to you

Sweetheart I hope you understand

That you're the only love I knew

Please forgive me if you can



   Sweetheart I beg you to come home tonight

   I'm so blue and all alone

   I promise that I'll treat you right

   Love, oh love oh please come home



That old wind is cold and slowly creeping 'round

And the fire is burning low

The snow has covered up the ground

Your baby's hungry sick and cold
