Daddy and Home - Jimmie Rodgers
I am dreaming, tonight,
of an old southern town,

And the best friend
that I ever had.

For I've grown so weary
of roaming around,

I'm going back home to my Dad.

Your hair has turned to silver,

I know you're failing too.

Daddy, dear, oh, Daddy,
I'm coming back to you.

You made my childhood happy,

But still I longed to roam.

I've had my way,
but now I'll say,

I long for you and for home.

Dear Daddy, you shared
my sorrows and joys;

You tried to bring
me up right.

I know you'll still be
just one of the boys.
I'm starting back home tonight.

Your hair has turned to silver,

And I know you're failing too.

Daddy, dear, oh, Daddy,

I'm coming back to you.

You made my childhood happy,

But still I longed to roam.

I've had my way,
but now I'll say,

I long for you and for home.
