Not a Word from Home by Roy Acuff Lyrics

No not 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 take a walk, I travel down the 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 home anymore

If only I could hear one little word from home
My heart would be so flattened, 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

No not a word, no not a word
No not a word from home anymore

The last I heard from Mother, she said, "We were okay."
But something could've happened, they're getting old and gray
I'm going home tomorrow, I'm going home to stay
I'm going home tomorrow, I can't live on this way
No not a word, no not a word
No not a word from home anymore
