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
