Hello dad, it's been a while
since we had a chance to talk
I've kind of missed that crooked smile
let's go with memory for a walk

Hope that you've been doing fine
there at your new home
remember that muscadine wine
and all the hills we used to roam?

They say the fish are biting well
at those places that we used to fish
to go again would be just swell
we'd catch as many as we'd wish

Both of the grandsons say hi
they'd really like to hunt with you
or pick wild black berries for a pie
any activity would do

Tell everybody there I said hello
wish I had more time to stay
it won't be long until I follow
then we'll be reunited one fine day
