Well I came home this morning there was a note hanging on my door
She said this time I'm a leaving you and I won't be back no more
Yeah yeah and that's all that's all she wrote

She said I used to love you when you were nice and kind
But the way you been treatin' me lately babe you done drove me out of my mind
Yeah yeah and that's all that's all she wrote

[ guitar ]
Well my hand began to tremble as slowly I read on
She said you won't hurt me no more goodbye good luck I'm gone
Yeah yeah and that's all that's all she wrote

Well I stand here by this river with her letter in my hand
I'm gonna let that river take me goodbye this is the end
Yeah yeah and that's all that's all she wrote

[ harmonica ]
