He put it his sack.
Bright in early next morning,
He brought my letter back.
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
We had a quarrel, a lover’s spat
I write I’m sorry but my letter keeps coming back.
And sent it special d.
Bright in early next morning
It came right back to me.
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such so.
And put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I’ll understand - the writing on it
No such number, no such zone.
