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
