Roy Acuff — Not a Word from Home

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
