Write Me A Letter

I'm leaving town, daddy, I'm leaving town today
'Cause it don't matter what I try, I just can't find my way
I'll be so sad leaving, I've got a hunger deep inside
My dreams, my ambitions and my pride

My daddy said, write me a letter
Won't you write me a letter, son
And tell me all about the weather
Won't you write me a letter, son
And every day I'll pray for you and hope that all your dreams come true
And that life will treat you better
Won't you write me a letter

Dear daddy, I'm in Sydney
Such a lovely town, I know
But it's no Hills of Donegal or the rolling Mountains of Mourne
The harbour wind, it takes me back to the shores of Galway Bay
And daddy when I'm blue I think of you and that day

The day you said, write me a letter
Oh, won't you write me a letter, son
And tell me all about the weather
Oh, won't you write me a letter, son
And every day I'll pray for you and hope that all your dreams come true
And that life will treat you better
Oh, won't you write me a letter, son

Dear daddy, I'm in the USA
Yeah, I'm here in Tennessee
And the river sure is pretty but it's not our Lovely Lee
I'm singing good old country and the people sing along
I drive a fancy car, they say I'm a star
But your words keep me strong

Oh, you said write me a letter
Oh, won't you write me a letter, son
And tell me all about the weather
Oh, won't you write me a letter, son
And every day I'll pray for you and hope that all your dreams come true
And that life will treat you better
Oh, won't you write me a letter
Oh, won't you write me a letter
