Well, I came home this morning there was a note hanging on my door
She said: "This time I'm a leaving 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 been treating me lately, babe
You done drove me out of my mind"
Yeah, yeah, and that's all, that's all she wrote

Well, my hand 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

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
