I am sitting home alone
In sorrow and misery
Wishing that my Maria
Was here to comfort me

Forgetting like the raven
She said never never more more
Then suddenly
There came  knock upon my door

And the voice said
I got message from maria
I open
Once again i can see her

I, oh I got message from maria
I hope she's asking me to free her

Listen to me good now
Maria wrote and said
MY love for you still lingers on
But by the time you read this letter
Honey, I maybe gone

I saw the teardrop
Stain on the page while maria cried
Still though, someone wrote
She called your name just before she died

I cried because I'm in a sad mood
Oh honey, I cried because
I don't know what to do

Hmm, hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmmm hmmm
Awww, I can't say no more because  I'm sad
