Sonny

Sonny lives on a farm

In a wide open space

Take off your shoes

Stay out of the rain



Lay down your head

On a soft riverbed

Sonny always remembers

The words Mama said



[Chorus]

Sonny, don't go away

I'm here all alone

Your daddy is a sailor

Never comes home

Nights are so long

Silence goes on

I'm feeling so tired

And not all that strong



[Music]



Many years have rolled on

Sonny's old and alone

His daddy, the sailor

Never came home



Sometimes he wonders

What his life might've been

Still from the grave

Mama's voice haunts his dreams



Sonny, don't go away

I'm here all alone

Your daddy, the sailor

Never comes home

Nights are so long

Silence goes on

I'm feeling so tired

And not all that strong



Sonny, don't go away
