Stonewall Jackson - Wanderin' Boy's Last Letter lyrics

I'm writing this letter to you tonight mom And this is the reason I write It's been a long time since I have been home Oh, I wish I was with you tonight I recall now five long years ago When I left there and I went away I was too young to see I was wrong Oh, I miss you and dad more each day Don't ever forget in my heart there's regret It's not your fault things turned out this way In the graveyard's a man that died by my hand We learned lessons but sometimes they're late This mornin' at dawn I must die for my wrong Mom forgive me the pain I've caused you The time must be near the parson is here And he's prayin' like you used to do
