Writin' Paper Blues - 2003 Remastered

I wrote you a letter, mama
 Put it in your front yard
 I wrote you a letter
 Put it in your front yard
 I would love to come and see you
 But your good man's got me barred
 You wrote me a letter
 To come back the Newport noon
 You wrote me a letter, mama
 Come back the Newport noon
 To leave the town
 And don't spread the news
 I wrote you a letter, mama
 Sent you a telegram
 I wrote you a letter, mama
 Sent you a telegram
 Not to meet me in Memphis
 But meet me in Birmingham
 Um, hear me weep and moan
 Um, hear me weep and moan
 Don't you hear my pleading?
 Hear me grieve and groan
 If I could get me one more drink of booze
 If I could get me one more drink of booze
 I guess it would ease these ol' writin' paper blues
 I caught a freight train special
 My mama caught a pass'ger behind
 Caught a freight train special
 My mama caught a pass'ger behind
 Said you can't quit me papa
 There ain't no need in tryin'
