Dear Corinne, on the 3rd,
got your letter from the 1st,
I've got a boss and he's swell
He takes his time telling
Should the medicine fail me today
Send a prayer if you can my way
then my heart will take this turn
Without you, it's hard to sleep
but it's mine and it's cheap
And a half a block from the job
Mother's a mess and we all live in fear
And when the night falls black on me
And the moon crawls over the sea
If my body breaks, then my heart,
won't you send me your love?
Tied now to the foot of a dove
If my body breaks, then my heart,
Darling, did you get the money?
Twenty -three dollars is all I
I went to the beach just yesterday,
when you make it out this way
The sand was warm on my feet
But when the night falls black over me
And the moon crawls over the sea
then my heart will take this time
And if the wind rushes into my bones
Picks me up and delivers me home
4.8
