(My Daddy)
|
|
Well, a curly-headed girl with a bright shining smile
|
Heard the roar of a plane as it sailed through the sky
|
To her playmates she said, with a bright twinkling eye
|
My Daddy flies that ship in the sky
|
|
My Daddy flies that ship in the sky
|
My Daddy flies that ship in the sky
|
My Mama's not afraid and neither am I
|
'Cause my Daddy flies that ship in the sky
|
|
Then a button-nosed kid, as he kicked up his heels
|
He said, My Daddy works in the iron and the steel
|
My Dad builds the planes and they fly through the sky
|
And that's what keeps your daddy up there so high
|
|
That's what keeps your daddy up there so high
|
That's what keeps your daddy up there so high
|
My Dad builds the planes and they fly through the sky
|
And that's what keeps your daddy up there so high
|
|
Then a freckle-faced kid pinched his toe in the sand
|
He says, My Daddy works at that place where they land
|
You tell your mama, don't be afraid
|
My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
|
|
My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
|
My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
|
Don't be afraid when it gets dark and rains
|
My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
|
