"Any Old Time" lyrics

"Any Old Time"
(originally by Jimmie Rodgers)

I just received your letter
You're down and out you say
And at first I thought I would tell you
To travel on the other way

But in my memory lingers
All you once were to me
So I'm going to give you one more chance
To prove what you can be

Any old time you want to come back home
Drop me a line
And, honey, say no more that you'll roam
You had your chance to play the game fair
And when you left me, sweetheart
You only left a load of care

Now that you're down
I'm going to stick by you
If you will only tell me
That your roaming days are through

You'll find me here
Like the day you left me alone
Any old time
You want to come back home

Any old time you want to come back home
Just drop me a line
And, honey, say no more that you'll roam
You had your chance to play the game fair
And when you left me, sweetheart
You only left a load of care

Now that you're down
Oh, I'm going to stick by you
If you will only tell me
That your roaming days are through

You'll find me here
Like the day you left me alone
Any old time
You want to come back home

Oh, yeah, you'll find me here
Like the day you left me alone
Any old time
You want to come back home
