To Daddy (from Emmy Lou Harris

A

Mommy never seemed to miss the finer things of life

E7

If she did, she never did say so to daddy

She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife

A

If she did she never did say so to daddy

The only thing that seemed to be important in her life

D

Was to make our house a home and make us happy

A

Momma never wanted any more than what she had

E7

If she did, she never did say so to daddy

He often left her alone and cheated Ma into staying home

If she did, she never did say so to daddy

And she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her

If she did, she never did say 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 say so to daddy

D

One morning we awoke, just to find a note

E7

That momma carefully wrote and left for daddy

D

And as he began to read it, our ears could not believe it

7

The words that she had written there to daddy

She said, "The kids are older now and they don't need me very much

And I've gone to search for love I need so badly

I have needed you so long but I just can't keep holding on

She never meant to come back home

If she did, she never did say so to daddy

Goodbye to daddy
