Daddy Lyrics

Well I'm finally gonna write you that letter
That was owed you for a long long time
I can't say much for me
But I do hope that ya'll are doing fine
Well how is Burry and Virginia
Are they still living down on the farm
You know sometimes I get so lonesome daddy
I wish I'd never left home
Are you working hard these days
Are you doing all the things
the doctor said you oughta do
Did you sell all your tobacco
Did the crops bring in what you thought they would
Well I might as well get to the point
Last night I tried to call you on the phone
What I'm getting at
I guess is if I had the money daddy I'd come home
'Cause every night
I hear an old southbound train whistle a-blowing
And daddy it's calling me home

I've been to New York Chicago

Wheeling West Virginia and Nashville Tennessee
And singers are as thick as fleas on a dog's back
By the way how's old Lee
And I done changed my name so many times
I don't even know who I am
And daddy I sure miss them pinto beans
And corn bread and country ham
Now I know I should've listened when you said
I didn't have no business coming way out west
That a girl belongs at home on the farm
Where she was born raising younguns like all the rest
Well I know it now that's why I'm writing
And why I tried to call you on the phone
What I'm really trying to say
Is if you'll send me the money I'll come home
