Take A Letter, Maria

In the style of

R. B. Greaves

Lyrics

last night as i got home

about a half past ten

there was the woman
i thought i knew

in the arms of another man

i kept my cool i ain't no fool
let me tell ya

what happened then

i packed some clothes
an' i walked out

an' i ain't goin back again

so take a letter maria
address it to my wife

say i won't be comin' home
gotta start a new life

take a letter maria
address it to my wife

send a copy to my lawyer
gotta start a new life

you've been many things
but most of all

a good secretary to me

an' it's times like this i feel

you've always been close to me

was i wrong to work nights
to try to build a good life

all work and no play
has just cost me a wife

so take a letter maria, oh
address it to my wife

say i won't be comin' home
gotta start a new life

take a letter maria
address it to my wife

send a copy to my lawyer
gotta have a new life

when a man loves a woman

it's hard to understand

that she would
find more pleasure

in the arms of another man

i never really noticed

how sweet you are to me

it just so happens
i'm free tonight

would you like to
have dinner with me

so take a letter maria
address it to my wife

say i won't be comin' home
gotta start a new life

so take a letter maria, oh
address it to my wife

send a copy to my lawyer
gotta have a new life

so take a letter maria
address it to my wife

say i won't be comin' home
gotta start a new life
