Not a Word From Home lyrics

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
