Lyric Daddy And Home

(Jimmy 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,
And I m going home to my Dad.

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.

Dear Daddy, you shared all my sorrows and joys;
You tried hard to bring me up right.
I know you ll still be 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.

I ve had my way, but now I ll say,
I long for you and for home.
