dolly parton - the letter lyrics

[spoken:]
this is the first letter that i wrote back home to momma and daddy a few days after i’d moved to nashville:

june 2, 1964
nashville, tennessee

dear momma 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 okay and i thought i’d better write and let you know cause i knew you’d be worried about me and i don’t want you to be worried about me cause i’m gonna be alright once i get settled and used to being away from home. i didn’t realize how much i loved you and all them noisy kids until i left and i didn’t realize how hard it was to leave home either til i started to leave and everybody started crying, including 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 trying to sending me any money or anything cause i’ve got a job singing on the early morning television show here called the eddie hill show. a couple of folks already told me that they might record a couple of my songs so i’ll be making enough money to get by and i don’t want you worrying about me being hungry or anything. nashville is 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 worrying about me getting 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. you write me real soon. tell everybody i said h-llo 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
