Align:    
  • This is the first letter that I wrote back home to mom and daddy
  • A few days after I'd moved to Nashville
  • June 2nd 1964 Nashville Tennesee
  • Dear mom and daddy I hope this letter finds everybody well and happy
  • As for me I'm fine I guess I'm just a little lonesome and a whole lot homesick
  • I got to Nashville OK and I thought I'd better write and let you know
  • Cause I knew you'd be worried about me
  • And I don't let you know to worried about me Cause I'm gonna be alright
  • Once I get settled and used to bein' away from home
  • I didn't realize how much I loved you and all them noisy kids until I left
  • And I didn't reaize how hard it was to eave home eiter
  • Till I started to leave and everybody started cryin' includin' me
  • I cried almost all the way to Nashville
  • And I wanted to turn around a few times and come back
  • But you know how bad I've always wanted to go to Nashville
  • And be a singer and songwriter
  • And I believe that if I try long enough and hard enough that someday I'll make it
  • Don't worry about tryin' to send me any money or anything
  • Cause I've got a job singin' on the early morning television show
  • Here called the Eddie Hill Show
  • And a couple of folks already told me that they might record a couple of my songs
  • So I'll be makin' enough money to get by
  • And I don't want you to worryin' about me bein' hungry or anything
  • And Nashville's not exactly what I thought it was gonna be
  • But I believe I'm gonna like it here once I get used to it
  • And I don't want you to worryin' about me gettin' in trouble either
  • Cause I'll be good just like I promised you I would when I left
  • Well can't think of anything else to say
  • I guess I'd better close for now and you write me real soon
  • And tell everybody I said hello and I'm gonna be real anxious to hear from you
  • Cause I sure miss you and I love you an awful lot
  • With love as always Dolly
