"Letter" lyrics - RHIANNON GIDDENS

Gonna write me a letter
Gonna send it by the foam
Gonna send it to my baby
Gonna beg him to come home

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

So I followed him to the water
Watched him sail away on the foam
Now he's left me here broken hearted
Broken hearted and all alone

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

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
