1
This little trunk holds Jonathan's love letters
2
Bound so neatly in ribbons of silk
3
Jonathan had such beautiful penmanship
4
Written on parchment as white as milk
5
Jonathan's words arranged chronologically
6
Month by month and then day by day
7
Jonathan surely wrote me quite frequently
8
Jonathan had such a lot to say
9
Chorus: My sweet Jonathan wrote me constantly
10
All he hoped to be, all he dreamed
11
How the world was too bright and beautiful
12
How the people weren't all they seemed
13
Jonathan wrote when he was out traveling
14
How he hated each social affair
15
Jonathan swore he soon would come back to me
16
We'd get married and settle somewhere
17
Jonathan wrote with caring and tenderness
18
How he loved me so simple and pure
19
Jonathan said those colorful party girls
20
All were too forward to be endured
21
Chorus
22
Jonathan wrote me on a clear summer's day
23
Told me with sorrow we'd never wed
24
Some little tramp accused him of raping her
25
Jonathan never was in her bed
26
She was expecting one or two little ones
27
Honor would force him to make her wife
28
Jonathan swore he'd always remember me
29
All through his terrible married life
30
Chorus
31
Jonathan wrote once more in his perfect hand
32
Told me that when all the fuss should die
33
And his rich bride went off for the holidays
34
He would come just for one last goodbye
35
Jonathan came at midnight on Christmas eve
36
One more sweet letter was in his hand
37
Saying that all his wealth was such misery
38
Swearing his life was at my command
39
Chorus
40
This little trunk holds Jonathan's love letters
41
Reading them still can be lots of fun
42
This little trunk holds Jonathan's every word
43
This bigger trunk holds Jonathan
44
