Daddy & Home

Your hair has turned to silver

I know you’re fading too

Daddy, dear, oh daddy

I’m coming back to you

You made my boyhood happy

Although I long to rule

I’ve had my way

And now I’ll stay

I long for you and for home

Daddy you’ve turned my sorrow to joy

You tried to bring me up right

I still remember the words you would say

I’m coming back home tonight

Your hair has turned to silver

I know you’re fading too

Daddy, dear, oh daddy

I’m coming back to you

You made my boyhood happy

Although I long to rule

I’ve had my way

And now I’ll stay

I long for you and for home

I’m leaving tonight

For an old southern town

And the best friend that I’ve ever had

I’ve roamed and I’ve rambled all over this world

I’m going back home to my dad

Your hair has turned to silver

I know you’re fading too

Daddy, dear, oh daddy

I’m coming back to you

You made my boyhood happy

And though I long to rule

I’ve had my way

And now I’ll stay

I long for you and for home

I’ve had my way

And now I’ll stay

I long for you and for home

Yo-da-lay-ee-dee-oh

Oh-day-ee-dee-oh

Oh-day-oh, oh-day-ee-hee-ee
