—Ernest Tubb
I've called and I've called you, but each time I phone
They always tell me that you're not at home
I've written you letters and knocked at your door
But don't worry, darling, I won't bother you anymore
Chorus:
So answer the phone when it rings, darling
And if somebody knocks, let them in
You don't have to be afraid that it's me
'Cause I'll never bother you again
I'm writing this letter to tell you goodbye
Somebody told me how you sit and cry
'Cause you found a new love since I have been gone
And wish I'd forget you and that I'd just leave you alone
Chorus
