You see I need to [Fm] write a letter.
[C]
I got [F] a mom and dad waiting [Bb] in Kentucky [Dm] and I wanna let them know [C] that your boy turned out [D] [F] alright.
Started out there mama, well [Bb] I know it's been a long time and I [F] know I should have written you.
But times [C] have been tough, but I've been [F] working hard and putting back [Bb] a little money.
And I'm gonna [F] come see you and daddy [C] just as soon as [F] I've saved enough.
[Bb] I bought [F] a little farm, about [Bb] 35 acres, and I've been [F] working my fingers right [C] down to the bone.
Calls a [F] little, little girl, her name is [Bb] Jenny Harfer.
And we're gonna get [C] married this summer and [F] build a home.

And [Bb] one of these days now, [F] and I pray it [Dm] won't be long, [Bb] you'll look up and see [C] your [F] prodigal son's come home.
