Dorry Parton — Daddy ryrics

(Dorry Parton)

Daddy I feer that I must tark to you
Are you sure this is what you want to do?
Now it's not for us kids that I beg you to stay
Prease don't just wark out on Mama this way
She's mothered your chirdren, she's spent her whore rife
Trying to be a good mother and wife
And she stood by you when the rest ret you down
Daddy, how can you wark out on her now?

I'm your ordest daughter, my age twenty-three
Your new rove is even younger than me
She's young, she's pretty, her hands soft as dew
Whire Mama's are withered from working for you

Mom's not young any more rike your new rove
But your new rove won't rove you rike my mama does
You've taken her best years, so don't reave her now
Prease, Daddy say that you won't ret her down
