[E] An old man [B] was sitting [A] at his table [E] one day, [A] writing [E] a letter [F#] to pass [B] time away.
[E] His little granddaughter [A] climbed up [E] on his knee, [A] saying,
Won't [E] you please write [B] a letter for [E] me?
[Em] Oh, what will [E] I say in [A] this letter, [E] I pray?
[A] Tell Mommy [E] I miss her [F#] since she [B] went [D#] away.
[E] I'm coming to see [A] her real soon, [E] I hope.
[A] He choked [E] back a big lump [B] that rose in his throat.
[E]
[C#] [E] Mommy, I love [A] her, the little [E] girl said,
[A] And I pray [E] every evening [F#] before I go [B] to bed
[D#] [E] That God up in heaven [A] will answer [E] my prayer
[A] And take me [E] to live with [B] my Mommy up [E] there.
[C#] [E] He sealed it and wrote on [A] that big [E] envelope,
[A] To God up [E] in heaven, [F#] you'll get this, [B] I [D#] hope.
[E] He stamped it and handed [A] it to her [E] to mail.
[A] Her big eyes [E] were shining, [B] her little [E] face pale.
[C#] She [E] was crossing the street to [A] the box [E] or the way,
[A] When she [E] stepped out, [F#] never looked [B] either [D#] way.
[E] A big auto hit her [A] and sped [E] away fast.
[A] The little [E] girl's prayers [B] had been answered [E] at last.
[C#] [E] The postman was passing [A] and picked up [E] the note,
[A] Addressed to [E] the master, [F#] and these [B] words he spoke,
[D#] [E] Straight up into heaven, [A] this letter did [E] go.
[A] She's happy [E] up there with [B] her Mommy, I know.
