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
