Rhiannon Giddens
Gonna Write Me A Letter
[Verse 1]
Gonna write me a letter
Gonna send it by the foam
Gonna send it to my baby
Gonna beg him to come home

[Verse 2]
Said he wanted me for to marry
My pa, he said no
Said that he didn't like him
Said that he would have to go

[Chorus]
He's gone
He's gone
He's gone

[Verse 3]
So I followed him to the water
Watched him sail away on the foam
Now he's left me here brokenhearted
Brokenhearted and all alone

[Chorus]
He's gone
He's gone
He's gone
He's gone
[Verse 5]
Gonna write me a letter
Gonna send it by the foam
Gonna send it to my baby
Gonna beg him to come home

[Outro]
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
Come home
