No, a word, no, not a word,
no, not a word from home anymore
If only I could hear just one little word from mother and daddy,
my heart would fill
with cheer.
Each day I'd take a walk down a long, long trail,
each day the postman tells me, no letter
in the mail.
No, not a word, no, not a word,
no, not a word from mother
I won der how they are,
all the folks back home
If I could be there with them,
I never more would roam
The days have turned to weeks,
the weeks have turned to years
Without ever hearing from the
ones I love so dear
You're not aware, you're not aware,
you're not aware
From home anymore
The last time
Mother wrote, they were all okay
But I'm getting weary,
they're getting old and gray
Each night I say a prayer,
and I always say
I'll start on tomorrow,
I can't go on this way
No, not a word, no, not a word, no,
not a word from home anymore
