~To Daddy~
Sung by Emmy Lou Harris / Written by Dolly Parton
1
Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life
5
If she did, she never did so to daddy
She never wanted to be more than a mother and a wife
1
If she did, she never did so to daddy
The only thing that seemed to be important in her life
1-7 4
was to make our house a home and to make us happy
1
Mama never wanted any more than what she had
5 1
If she did, she never did so to daddy
He often left her all alone, cheated ma into staying home
If she did, she never did so to daddy
And she never missed the flowers
and the cards he never sent her
If she did, she never did so to daddy
Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted
and she didn’t need those things to make her happy
and she didn’t seem to notice that he didn’t kiss and hold
her If she did, she never did so to daddy
4
One morning we awoke just to find a note
5
that mama carefully wrote and left for daddy
4
And as he began to read it, our ears could not
5
believe it - the words she had written there for daddy
1
Said the kids are older now and they don’t need me very
1-7 4
much now I’ve gone to search for the love I need so badly
1
I have wanted you so long but I just can’t keep holding on
She never meant to come back home
5 1
If she did, she never did so to daddy ... Good Bye to Daddy
