The Letter That Never Came - Charlie Poole

Is there any mail for me

Was the question that he asked

Of the postman at the closing of the day

But he turned away and sighed

While a tear stood in his eye

As he drooped his head and slowly walked away

Was it from a gray haired mother

Or a sister or a brother

He waited all these many years in vain

Oh from early morning light

He would wait till dark at night

For the letter but alas it never came

As he waited all these years

Joy mingled with his tears

His poor soul had faded out with the tide

In his hand he held a note

And those simple words he wrote

If the letter comes just place it by my side

Was it from a gray haired mother

Or a sister or a brother

He waited all these many years in vain

Oh from early morning light

He would wait till dark at night

For the letter but alas it never came

Was it from a gray haired mother

Or a sister or a brother

He waited all these many years in vain

Oh from early morning light

He would wait till dark at night

For the letter but alas it never came
