Lyrics:

Capo 2nd Fret

G5                             C5 D5   C5   G5

An old man was sitting at his table one day

G5                     C5         D5

Writing a letter to pass time away

G5                                C5  D5  C5   G5

His little granddaughter climbed up on his knee

G5                                C5          G5

Saying won't you please write a letter for me

Oh what must I say in this letter I pray
Tell mommy I miss her since she went away
I coming to see her real soon I hope
He choked back a big lump that rose in his throat

He sealed it and wrote on that big envelope
To God up in heaven you'll get it I hope
He stamped it and handed it to her to mail
Her big eyes were shining her little face pale

She was crossing the street to the box o'er the way
And when she stepped out never looked either way
A big auto hit her and sped away fast
The little girls prayers had been answered at last

The postman was passing and picked up the note
Addressed to the Master and these words he spoke
Straight up into heaven this letter did go
She's happy up there with her mommy I know
