Daddy Won't Be Home Again For Christmas

(M.Haggard)



Daddy won't be home again for Christmas

And I just hope that this little check will fit

Daddy won't be home again for Christmas

But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget.



The Christmas tree where I'll be won't be lighted

But the rain cold will let me know December's here

Forgive me for the letters I don't answer

But I keep thinking I'll be home again each year.



Daddy won't be home again for Christmas

But here's hoping that this little check will fit

Daddy won't be home again for Christmas

But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget.



I know Santa Claus won't bring you all the things you need

But maybe he'll be kinder if he knows

That I won't be home this year to play the famous roll

And besides I'm much to thin to wear his cloths.



Daddy won't be home again for Christmas

But here's hoping that this little check will fit

Daddy won't be home again for Christmas

But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget...
