Lorene, Lorene write me a letter, answer the last one that I wrote to you
Lorene, I hope you're still waiting but your last letter is way overdue
I know many times you have started to write, darlin' I wonder what's taking your time
Lorene you seem to be near me but your last letter is way overdue

Lorene, stop me from hurting all it would take is a letter from you
Lorene, you said I could trust you but your last letter is way overdue
If you've found another since I've been away, don't let me return for it's best that I stay
Lorene, I feel I have lost you for your last letter is way overdue
