To Daddy Lyrics - Emmylou Harris Anthology: The Warner / Reprise Years - Emmylou Harris

(Dolly Parton) 

Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life 

If she did she never did say so to daddy 

She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife 

If she did she never did say so to daddy. 

The only thing that seemed to be important in her life 

Was to make our house a home and make us happy 

Mama never wanted any more than what she had 

If she did she never did say so to daddy.

He often left her all alone but she didn't mind the staying home 

If she did she never did say so to daddy 

And she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her 

If she did she never did say so to daddy. 

Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted 

And she don't need those things to make her happy 

And she didn't seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her 

If she did she never did say so to daddy. 

One morning we awoke just to find a note 

That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy 

And as we began to read it our ears could not believe it 

The words she had written there to daddy.

She said the kids are older now they don't need me very much 

And I've gone in search of love I need so badly 

I have needed you so long but I just can't keep holdin' on 

She never meant to come back home. 

If she did, she never did say so to daddy 

Goodbye to daddy...
