Biografia:
Charlie Poole (March 22, 1892 - May 21, 1931) was an American old time banjo player and country musician and the leader of "Charlie Poole & the North Carolina Ramblers", an American old-time string band that recorded many popular songs between 1925 and 1931.
Charlie was born in Spray, now part of Eden, Rockingham County, in the northern Piedmont region of North Carolina, near the Virginia border.
He learned banjo as a youth. Poole also played baseball, and his three-fingered playing technique was the result of a baseball accident.

CHARLIE POOLE
"The Letter That Never Came"
Intro: D A D Bbdim - (2 counts each)
Verse:
Bm
"Is there any mail for me?"?
Bbdim Bm
Was the question that he asked
E Asus4 A
Of the postman at the closing of the day
D?
But he turned away and sighed
G D?
While a tear stood in his eye
D Em D?
As he drooped his head and slowly walked away
Chorus:
G
Was it from a gray-haired mother?
D?
Or a sister, or a brother?
G D?
He waited all these many years in vain
D?
Oh, from early morning light
G D?
He would wait 'til dark at night
D Em D Bbdim
?For the letter but, alas, it never came
Verse:
Bm
As he waited all these years
Bbdim Bm?
Joy mingled with his tears
E Asus4 A?
His poor soul had faded out with the tide?
D
In his hand he held a note
G D
?And those simple words he wrote
D Em D?
"If the letter comes just place it by my side"
