Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, daddy just lost his pay
What did he do it for?
It never made it through our door
He drank the week away
[Verse 2]
What can a family say?
There must be a better way
Now, mama, don't start to cry
Let's give him another try
[Verse 3]
Pick up the telephone
Tell him you want him home
To sit and watch the evenings pass
And readin' The Leaves of Grass
[Verse 4]
I'm caught in a closing door
It's pinnin' me to the floor
Now, mama, don't start to cry
Let's give him another try
[Verse 5]
I'm caught in a closing door
It's pinnin' me to the floor
Now, mama, don't start to cry
Let's give him another try
[Verse 6]
When we're old and gray
And the things we say
Are the things we rarely mean
So why cause a scene?
When things ain't what they seem
'Cause the end result's the same
[Verse 7]
Now what can a family say?
There must be a better way
Now, mama, don't start to cry
Let's give him another try
