Letter From Home

Letter From Home
4684

Lonely I sat me and wept,
Wepl as I have not for years:
Oh, why do my eyes fall to keep
Back those affectionate tears
I think of the friends o’er the seas,
Who love me wherever I roam
Oh, some one go tell them for me
To write me a letter from home

Chorus-
Oh, have they forgotten me now,
Or do they expect me to come:
Oh, some one go tell them for me
To write me a letter from home

I think of the old fashioned cot,
Tho’ I’ve left it for many a year
The last words, “God bless you,” I got
From father and mother so dear
They hoped that the journey would be
A pleasant one over the sea,
Oh, some one go and tell them for me,
To write me a letter from home
Chorus
