Daddy - The Maytals

Daddy, oh, tell my mommy for me,

I want you to tell her, oh yeah,

Tell her that I’m right here.

For I’m longing to see my mommy,

I want to hold her up,

I want to talk with her, I want to kiss her,

I want to shake her hand;

'Cause I love her so.

Let me tell you something!

Daddy.

Let me tell you something!

Daddy.

Once I was away far far from my home,

Didn’t know how to come back home.

And one night as I got up,

I could see clearly, that,

There was nowhere in sight.

I could see my ma and pa,

Coming to look for me,

But it was just a dream.

And I decided in my mind to go home,

And I started across my bridge,

And towards my door.

I met a girl, who’s named Jean

She says «Toots, you know I got,

To give you a new name,

Before you leave this place.»

I asked her: «why?»

She says: «Just because you look to be very great.»

«That's why I’m going to call you Mr???»

That’s my new name.
