Daddy, Won’t You Please Come Home? - Annette Hanshaw, The New Englanders

When night is creepin'

And I should be sleepin' in bed

If you were peepin'

When night is creepin'

And I should be sleepin' in bed

If you were peepin'

You’d find that I’m weepin' instead

My lovin' daddy left his baby again

Said he’d come back but he forgot to say when

Night after night, I’m cryin'

Daddy, won’t you please come home?

Daddy won’t you please come home?

I’m so lonesome

No one can fill that vacant chair

Home isn’t home when you’re not there

No need to knock, the door is open for you

Please, daddy

Even the clock keeps tickin'

Daddy won’t you please come home?

Daddy do you have to roam so very long?

There’s lots of other new sheiks who would like to be sheikin'

Haven’t slipped yet, but I’m liable to weaken

Daddy, daddy, won’t you please come home?

Please, daddy

Even the clock keeps tickin'

Daddy won’t you please come home?

Daddy do you have to roam so very long?

There’s lots of other new sheiks who would like to be sheikin'

Haven’t slipped yet, but I’m liable to weaken

Daddy, daddy, won’t you please come home?

That’s all
