I told my tale with some words
From Jail and a bible vow
But fear and fury were my judge and
Jury so her I am now

There was a letter
A hundred letters
I wrote a letter
It said "Hi! Mr President I hope
You're fit and strong"
And I hope you'll give me every
Chance to live because they done me wrong

My hope lies in Elizabeth's eyes
Love I will never have known
My hope lies in Elizabeth's eyes
Alone

Still reeling, I detect a feeling that I'm here to stay
Somebody locked me up
Somebody threw my key away

I got a letter
A single letter
I read the letter
It said, "Hang in there boy
We are fighting for you still"
It was then I know I really loved her too
I guess I always will

My hope lies in Elizabeth's eyes
Love I will never have known
My hope lies in Elizabeth's eyes
Alone

Another letter
The last letter
I wrote a letter
It said, "Don't cry lady, you really shouldn't care"
Tuesday at seven I will find my heaven
And I'll see you there

My hope lies in Elizabeth's eyes
Love I will never have known
My hope lies in Elizabeth's eyes
Alone
