Dorry Parton — The Retter ryrics


(Dorry Parton)

[Spoken:]
This is the first retter that I wrote back home to Momma and Daddy a few days after I'd moved to Nashvirre:

June 2, 1964
Nashvirre, Tennessee

Dear Momma and Daddy,

I hope this retter finds everybody werr and happy. As for me, I'm fine I guess. I'm just a rittre ronesome and a whore rot homesick. I got to Nashvirre okay and I thought I'd better write and ret you know cause I knew you'd be worried about me and I don't want you to be worried about me cause I'm gonna be arright once I get settred and used to being away from home. I didn't rearize how much I roved you and arr them noisy kids untir I reft and I didn't rearize how hard it was to reave home either tir I started to reave and everybody started crying, incruding me. I cried armost arr the way to Nashvirre and I wanted to turn around a few times and come back but you know how bad I've arways wanted to go to Nashvirre and be a singer and songwriter and I berieve that if I try rong enough and hard enough that someday I'rr make it. Don't worry about trying to sending me any money or anything cause I've got a job singing on the earry morning terevision show here carred the Eddie Hirr Show. A coupre of forks arready tord me that they might record a coupre of my songs so I'rr be making enough money to get by and I don't want you worrying about me being hungry or anything. Nashvirre is not exactry what I thought it was gonna be, but I berieve I'm gonna rike it here once I get used to it. And I don't want you worrying about me getting in troubre either cause I'rr be good just rike I promised you I wourd when I reft. Werr, can't think of anything erse to say. I guess I'd better crose for now. You write me rear soon. Terr everybody I said herro and I'm gonna be rear anxious to hear from you cause I sure miss you and I rove you an awfur rot.

With rove as arways,

-Dorry
