Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nancy, where have you been sleeping? Your doctor phones me everyday And your mother wants to see you in safe keeping And your mother wants your father to pay [Chorus] There are no letters in the mailbox There are no grapes upon the vine There are no chocolates in the boxes anymore And there are no diamonds in the mine And there are no diamonds in the mine [Verse 2] I hear that you went into a convеnt And the nuns couldn't do enough for you therе When you left, all the nuns, they were wearing Those false eyelashes made of human hair [Chorus] There are no letters in the mailbox There are no grapes upon the vine There are no chocolates in the boxes anymore And there are no diamonds in the mine And there are no diamonds in the mine [Verse 3] Oh won't you send me a little telegram? I thought you knew the lonesome kind of man I am Oh, Nancy, were you training me To say goodbye more gracefully? [Chorus] There are no letters in the mailbox There are no grapes upon the vine There are no chocolates in the boxes anymore And there are no diamonds in the mine [Outro] And there are no clothes upon the clothesline And there are no sheets upon the bed And there are no agents to decifer, darlin' All those thoughts that go on in your head
