I have a letter in my hand I have a letter in my hand All the way from Washington Will we lose what we have won? I have a letter in my hand See that circle in the sand See that circle in the sand I was angry with my friend See the fire across the land See the circle in the sand She was telling me no lie She's been telling me no lie Hear them calling, hear their prayer Hear the sinners everywhere Oh she's been telling me no lie He had a suit he wore of grey He had a suit he wore of grey They made it in a factory They rang the bells, he kept us free He had a suit he wore of grey He had a letter in his hand He had a letter in his hand He held the letter to his chest See the dove upon his breast He had a letter in his hand Now she goes dressed all in black She goes dressed all in black She holds him in her memory They ring the bells, they kept us free Now she goes dressed all in black I have a letter in my hand Oh I have a letter in my hand All the way from Washington Will we lose what we have won? I have a letter in my hand
