Bill Anderson - Daddy And My Mama And Me lyrics

My daddy and my mama and me

Walkin' on this old burnt ground

Must be a hundred and three

Travelin' from town to town.

Maybe we can find work today

Sweatin' in this old hot sun

Then we can buy something to eat

Before another day is done.

The harvest has sure been slow

The drought hit us hard this year

But daddy said we'd have to go

Winter mustn't find us here.

So my daddy and my mama and me

Packed everything we owned

Put it in this old suitcase

And left the place that we called home.

Now daddy isn't gettin' any younger

And mama bless her heart looked so sad

But we've always been a family with lots of pride

And thankful for everything that we've had.

So, I know that somehow we're gonna make it

It's gonna take more than this old drought to stop us, you'll see

I've got a feeling the grass is gonna be

Greener for my daddy and my mama and me.

My daddy and my mama and me

Walkin' on this old burnt ground

Must be a hundred and three

Travelin' from town to town.

My daddy and my mama and me

Just my daddy and my mama and me...
