“Yellow Ledbetter” Lyrics

Unsealed on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, I wanna leave it again
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah
On a weekend wanna wish it all away
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason, ought to leave her calm, I know
I said, I don’t know whether I’m the boxer or the bag

Oh yeah, can you see them
Out on the porch
Yeah, but they don’t wave
I see them
‘Round the front way, yeah
And I know and I know I don’t want to stay

Make me cry

I see
I don’t know, there’s something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh, I said, I don’t, I don’t know whether I’m the boxer or the bag

Oh yeah, can you see them
Out on the porch
Yeah but they don’t wave
I see them
‘Round the front way
And I know and I know I don’t want to stay, oh
I don’t wanna stay
I don’t wanna stay
I don’t wanna stay, oh, no
Yeah
