Late in the evening, hear the wind blow Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow Late in the evening, hear the wind blow Roses love sunshine, violets love dew Angels in heaven, know I love you Know I love you, dear, know I love you Angels in heaven, know I love you Write me a letter, send it by mail Send it in care of, the Birmingham Jail Birmingham Jail love, Birmingham Jail Send it in care of, the Birmingham Jail Roses love sunshine, violets love dew Angels in heaven, know I love you Know I love you, dear, know I love you Angels in heaven, know I love you |
