To Daddy-Emmylou Harris (written by Dolly Parton)
A
Mama never seemed
To miss the finer things of life
A7 E
If she did she never did say so to daddy
She never wanted to be more
Than mother and a wife
E7 A
If she did she never did say so to daddy
A
The only thing that seemed
To be important in her life
A7 D
Was to make our house a home and make us happy
Mama never wanted
A
Any more that what she had
E E7 A
If she did she never did say so to daddy
A
He often left her all alone
She didn't mind the staying home
A7 E
If she did she never did say so to daddy
And she never missed the flowers
And the cards he never sent her
E7 A
If she did she never did say so to daddy
A
Being took for granted
Was a thing that she accepted
A7 D
And she didn't need those things to make her happy
And she didn't seem to notice
A
That he didn't kiss and hold her
E E7 A
If she did she never did say so to daddy
D
One morning we awoke
Just to find a note
E
That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
D
And as we began to read it
Our ears could not believe it
E
The words that she had written there to daddy
A
She said the kids are older now
They don't need me very much
A7 D
And I've gone in search of love I need so badly
I have needed you so long
A
But I just can't keep holding on
She never meant to come back home
E E7 D
She did she never did say so to daddy
A
Goodbye to daddy
