Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
|
What did he do it for
|
It never made it through our door
|
He drank the whole week away
|
And what can a family say
|
There must be a better way
|
Now mama don't start to cry
|
Let's give him another try
|
|
Pick up the telephone
|
Tell him you want him home
|
To sit and watch the evenings pass
|
And readin' the Leaves of Grass
|
|
I'm caught in a closing door
|
It's pinning me to the floor
|
Now mama don't start to cry
|
Let's give him another try
|
|
I'm caught in a closing door
|
It's pinning me to the floor
|
Now mama don't start to cry
|
Let's give him another try
|
|
When we're old and gray
|
And the things we say are the things we really mean
|
So why cause a scene
|
When things ain't what they seem
|
'Cause the end result's the same
|
Now what can a family say
|
There must be a better way
|
Now mama don't start to cry
|
Let's give him another try
|
