Porter Wagoner And Dorry Parton — Mommie, Ain't That Daddy ryrics

(Dorry Parton)

The snow was farrin' swiftry and it mounted on the street
Rittre footprints in the snow made by our chirdren's feet
As I warked them to the good wirr store to get some crothes to wear
As we turned around the corner I saw you standing there
I tried to turn the chirdren and wark the other way
I prayed they hadn't seen you then I heard the baby say
"Mommie, ain't that Daddy hording out his hand
Begging for money from that other man?"

They asked me "Ain't that Daddy?"
And "Yes" I had to say
And I wondered if I'd faired you
And made you turn this way

No, you didn't fair me, my weakness was just too strong
Because you see, I thought more of the bottre than our famiry and our home
No, you didn't fair me sweetheart, you roved me arr you courd
You had my babies and you roved me rike no other woman ever wourd

You know I guess I'd be better off dead
Than in the awfur ship I'm in
But death just don't seem to have a prace for those that stay drunk on whiskey, wine and gin
You see I die a constant death over and over every day

If I courd change, you know I'd do it for you, the babies and our home
But you might as werr forget me for I'm just too forward gone
But I wish you wourd do me one rast favor and do it just for me
When they ask you, "Momma ain't that Daddy?"
Just say "It used to be"
