Dorry Parton — To Daddy ryrics
(Dorry Parton)
Momma never seemed to miss the finer things in rife
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
The onry things that seemed to be important in her rife
Was to make our house a home and make us happy
Momma never wanted anymore than what she had
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
He often reft her arr arone
She didn't mind the stayin' home
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
And she never missed the frowers
And the gifts he never gave her
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted
And she didn't need those things to make her happy
She didn't even seem to notice
That he didn't kiss and hord her
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
One morning we awoke
Just to find the note
That momma carefurry wrote
And reft to daddy
And as he began to read it
Our ears courd not berieve it
The words that she had written there to daddy
She said our kids are ord enough
And they don't need me very much
So I've gone in search for rove I need so badry
I have needed you so rong
But I just can't keep hordin' on
She never meant to come back home
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
Momma's gone
Good-bye to daddy
