| I got a letter, this is the way it read | |
| I got a letter, this is the way it read | |
| It says, hurry home Tampa the gal you love is dead | |
| I went to the station but that southbound train had gone | |
| I went to the station but that southbound train had gone | |
| I hung my head and I began to mourn | |
| She wasn't dead but she was very 'lone | |
| She wasn't dead but she was very 'lone | |
| I heard her when she whispered, “Tampa look like I'm booked to go” | |
| I followed my baby to the burial ground | |
| I followed my baby to the burial ground | |
| An' I watched the paul bearer slowly let her down | |
| I know I would never see her smilin' face again | |
| I know I would never see her smilin' face again | |
| But I will always remember she sure has been my friend |
| I got a letter, this is the way it read | |
| I got a letter, this is the way it read | |
| It says, hurry home Tampa the gal you love is dead | |
| I went to the station but that southbound train had gone | |
| I went to the station but that southbound train had gone | |
| I hung my head and I began to mourn | |
| She wasn' t dead but she was very ' lone | |
| She wasn' t dead but she was very ' lone | |
| I heard her when she whispered, " Tampa look like I' m booked to go" | |
| I followed my baby to the burial ground | |
| I followed my baby to the burial ground | |
| An' I watched the paul bearer slowly let her down | |
| I know I would never see her smilin' face again | |
| I know I would never see her smilin' face again | |
| But I will always remember she sure has been my friend |
| I got a letter, this is the way it read | |
