Dear Mother Lyrics

Dear mother I am writing a letter

To let you know I am doing just fine

I am happy and I couldn't be better

I am living now across state lines

I met someone and we're both feeling lucky

To have a love we can feel in our bones

We built a house on a small bit of country

It's not much but it feels like home

Dear mother I am writing a letter

Dear mother I am writing a letter

Dear mother I am writing a letter

Dear mother I am writing a letter

I hope your garden is already growing

And all the trestles are covered with vines

I hope old Henry is finally slowing

That old dog can give a hell of a time

Speaking of roots I can feel mine sowing

Into this life and the place that I'm in

I've got some news yeah our family is growing

Now ain't that just a hell of a thing

Dear mother I am writing a letter

Dear mother I am writing a letter

Dear mother I am writing a letter

Dear mother I am writing a letter

Go tell Dad for me the next time see him

I'm sure he'd love to hear that great big surprise

I do miss the way he'd laugh in the morning

And greet the sun with a smile in his eyes

I'd sure love to have you come up and visit

It's no trouble we can make some room

If you wait too long you just might miss it

All my love and please write back soon

Dear mother I am writing a letter

Dear mother I am writing a letter

Dear mother I am writing a letter

Dear mother I am writing a letter
