Mom And Dad's Waltz

(Lefty Frizzell)



(I'll never forget the night that Lefty Frizzell

Called me at home back in December of 1974

And sang me a song on the phone that he and Whitey Shaffer had written

Called Bandy The Rodeo Clown

I was really thrilled and flattered that he take enough time

To help write a song just for me

I'm sorry that he couldn't be around to see how much this song helped me

Before he passed away in August of 1975 shortly after the song was released

It's a special song to me and I guess it always will be

Here's another song that I guess is my favorite of all the songs he ever wrote

And I'd like to dedicate it to his memory and my mom and dad.)



I'd walk for miles cry or smile for mama and daddy

I love them I want them to know

How I feel my love is real for my mama and daddy

I want them to know I love them so.



In my heart the joy tears start 'cause I'm happy

And I pray every day for mom and pappy and each night

I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy

I want them to know I love them so.

In my heart the joy tears start 'cause I'm happy

And I pray every day for mom and pappy and each night

I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy

I want them to know I love them so...
