Not a Word from Home

No not a word no not a word

No not a word from home anyhome

If only I could hear just one little word

From Mother and Daddy my heart would fill with cheer

Each day I take a walk I travel down the trail

Each day the postman tells me no letter in the mail

If only I could hear one little word from home

My heart would be so flattered I never more would roam

The days have turned to weeks the weeks have turned to years

Without one little word from ones I love so dear

The last time Mother wrote they were all okay

But I'm getting worried they're getting old and gray

Each night I say a player and I always say

I'll start home tomorrow I can't live on this way
