Artist/Band: Dolly Parton
Lyrics for Song: Daddy
Lyrics for Album: Best Of The Best: Hall Of Fame 2000 [2002]



(Dolly Parton)



Daddy I feel that I must talk to you

Are you sure this is what you want to do

Now it's not for us kids that I beg you to stay

Please don't just walk out on Mama this way.



She's mothered your children, she's spent her whole life

Trying to be a good mother and wife

And she stood by you when the rest let you down

Daddy, how can you walk out on her now?



I'm your oldest daughter, my age twenty-three

Your new love is even younger than me

She's young, she's pretty, her hands soft as dew

While Mama's are withered from working for you.



Mom's not young any more like your new love

But your new love won't love you like my mama does

You've taken her best years, so don't leave her now

Please, Daddy say that you won't let her down.



I'm your oldest daughter, my age twenty-three

Your new love is even younger than me

She's young, she's pretty, her hands soft as dew

While Mama's are withered from working for you.



Daddy, please say that you won't let her down...
