Daddy, oh daddy won't you answer me please?
Daddy, oh daddy won't you answer me please?
All day I stood by your coffin tryin' to give my poor heart ease
I run
my hands over your head and whispered in your ear
I run
my hands over your head and whispered in your ear
And I wonder if you know that your mama is near
You told me that you love me and I believe what you said
You told me that you love me and I believe what you said
And I wish that I could fall here across your coffin dead
When I left the undertaker, I couldn't help but cry
When I left the undertaker, I couldn't help but cry
And it hurt me so bad, to tell the man I love goodbye
