1729 Broadway - Echolyn

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
