Take a Letter Maria - Sammy Kershaw

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 and I walked out .and I ain’t goin' back again.

Chorus

So take a letter Maria.

address it to my wife

Say I won’t be coming home.

gotta start a new life

Oh 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 And it’s time 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

Chorus

So take a letter Maria.

address it to my wife

Say I won’t be coming 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 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 coming home.

gonna start a new life

Ohhhh, Take a letter Maria.

address it to my wife

Send a copy to my lawyer.

Gonna have a new life

Take a letter Maria.

address it to my wife

Say I won’t be coming home.
