G

Mama never seemed

To miss the finer things of life

D

If she did she never did say so to daddy

She never wanted to be more

Than mother and a wife

G

If she did she never did say so to daddy

G

The only thing that seemed

To be important in her life

G7 C

Was to make our house a home and make us happy

Mama never wanted

G

Any more that what she had

D G

If she did she never did say so to daddy

G

He often left her all alone

She didn't mind the staying home

D

If she did she never did say so to daddy

And she never missed the flowers

And the cards he never sent her

G

If she did she never did say so to daddy

G

Being took for granted

Was a thing that she accepted

C

And she didn't need those things to make her happy

And she didn't seem to notice

G

That he didn't kiss and hold her

D G

If she did she never did say so to daddy

C

One morning we awoke

Just to find a note

D

That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy

C

And as we began to read it

Our ears could not believe it

D

The words that she had written there to daddy

G

She said the kids are older now

They don't need me very much

G7 C

And I've gone in search of love I need so badly

I have needed you so long

G

But I just can't keep holding on

She never meant to come back home

D C

She did she never did say so to daddy

G

Goodbye to daddy
