Letter To Daddy Lyrics - Jim Ed Brown

They brought me a letter from my little girl my sweet little baby with long golden curls 

The address was printed with crayon of red a letter to daddy and here's what it said 

Hi daddy how are you I guess I'm okay except this bad cold 

But I feel like a big girl now cause yesterday I was seven years old 

And that little puppy dog you sent me why he's just as cutest as he can be 

But daddy it wasn't just like a birthday why couldn't you have been here with me 

Daddy I don't understand what happened in court that day 

I ask mommy where you are and she just says daddy's gone away 

Is it something that I did wrong daddy you never did fuss at me 

But if you'll come home I'll climb upon your lap every night 

And I'll be just as sweet as I can be 

Daddy each night I ask God to make you keep loving me the way you used to 

Oh daddy if I'd give mommy this letter I know she won't mail it to you 

So I'm gonna look all over this city until I find you 

Then maybe you'll see just how much we need you daddy mommy and me 

And I love you daddy 

They told me how she started walking downtown 

There at the crossroads the car's struck her down 

She lay in the ditch all covered with sand a letter to daddy was clutched in her hand
