Lyrics:
A stranger stood outside my door this evening
His hat in hand, eyes tired from the road
He said, "Ma'am, I bring you news from down in Frisco
And a message sent with love from long ago."

I took the letter trembling as I opened
Saw words I never dreamed I'd see again
He said, "I met him by the railroad track this morning
And here's the love he asked me to extend."

Thank you for bringin' me this letter, Mister
It's good to know the news and that he's lookin' down from above.
I'll tell our boy his daddy's proud and loves him
And thanks again for bringin' me his love.

It's been ten long years since he's been with us
I raised our son and faced the days alone
Now I know he tried his best to reach us
And his heart, though far away, was always home

Mister, take this watch—it was my husband's
It's not much, but please take it on your way
You've given me and my son peace and closure
It's more than gold or silver could repay

Thank you for bringin' me this letter, Mister
It's good to know the news and that he's lookin' down from above.
I'll tell our boy his daddy's proud and loves him
And thanks again for bringin' me his love.
