Mame, I send you kisses for my boys Tell them pappa's well, but misses them to death How could I forget those little curls Dew-Drop be good for pop and he'll surprise you girls Mame, you're right there is no place like home These have been the longest days I've lived I wish this was my last week here At least your letters help this place to disappear Tell Furey, Ned, and Billy Knox I asked for them Billy wants me to come home There's work with him again I don't like this place, can't call it home without you There's an empty space in my heart without you Mame, I send you my heart with all its aches It's too weak to hold up, too proud to break I wish I had one of you here This place would turn around, this place would disappear I feel so lonesome I would give a year of my life to see the children
