Roy Acuff - 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
