Daddy and Home
Jimmie Rodgers & The Rainbow Ranch Boys Lyrics

Listen while you read
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 fading too
Daddy, dear ol' Daddy
I'm coming back to you
You made my boyhood 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 ol' Daddy, you shared my sorrows and joy
You tried to bring me up right
I know you'll still be just one of the boys
So I'm starting back home tonight

Your hair has turned to silver
I know you're fading too
Daddy, dear ol' Daddy
I'm coming back to you

You made my boyhood happy
But still I longed to roam
I've had my way, but now I'll say
I long for you and for home

Daddy
