I wrote a letter to my love today I wrote, it's hard what I gotta say I'm down and out to tell you the truth A man can make a white girl sing the blues You know why I coulndn't be with you When there's a change please give me a cue Until I drown in too much of booze A man can make a white girl sing the blues I took my pride and threw it away You got to release me from my suffering You find me everywhere running around Soon you sure will find me in the gutter I wrote a letter to my love today I wrote, it's so hard what I've gotta say All my life is turning out loose A man can make a white girl sing the blues I took my pride and I threw it away...
