emily skinner - a letter from harry's mother lyrics

[phoebe burn, spoken]
dear harry

[phoebe burn]
i’ve never sent a telegram before
i drove all the way to town in a downpour
so i sure hope this reaches you in time for your vote today
i’m real proud you hold that office
and son, there’s something i must say

your father gave his life in the great war three years ago
and oh, i’ll be kicked out of mcminn county for saying so
i hate this president for making him go
and i wish i’d had the right to vote him out
now i know i’m just an old farmer’s widow milking cows in tennessee
but i read the paper and i’ve seen the women marching to be free
they made me think that maybe
i could hop a train to washington, d.c. and march too
only i was home, raising you
so i did my best to teach you what i knew

now your own little girlie’s nearly three
what do you want her future to be?
vote aye for her, my son
let your mama know she raised a good one
and oh, i made that meatloaf you like
so come on home when you’re done
[speaker, spoken]
burn! burn! for christ’s sake, burn!

[harry burn, spoken]
aye

[alice, spoken]
we did it?

[phoebe burn]
with lots of love
mama
