Daddy don't go out tonight
|
Just stay home till morning light
|
Me and mamma don't feel right
|
Please hold us tight
|
|
Daddy why did you go to work
|
When you know just how much we love you so
|
Please come back tomorrow
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
They're giving out guns in the ghetto
|
They're saying they will set you free
|
One day I'll have children of my own
|
But I'm afraid they won't have me
|
|
Mamma, is Daddy home
|
Why are you crying all alone
|
Grandma's tears have turned to stone
|
And I'm all alone
|
|
Mamma isn't daddy back
|
I'm getting scared and that's a fact
|
Why are we all dressed like that
|
All in black
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Daddy don't go out tonight
|
Please stay home till morning light
|
Me and mamma don't feel right
|
Please hold us tight
|
|
Daddy why did you go to work
|
When you know just how much we love you so
|
Please come back tomorrow
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Mamma, is Daddy home
|
Why are you crying all alone
|
Grandma's tears have turned to stone
|
And I'm chilled to the bone
|
|
Mamma isn't daddy back
|
I'm getting scared and that's a fact
|
Why are we all dressed like that
|
All in black
|
|
[Chorus 4x]
|
