That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine Lyrics - Roy Acuff

In a vine covered shack in the mountains 

Bravely fighting the battle of time 

Is a dear one who's weathered life's sorrow 

It's that silver haired daddy of mine 

If I could recall all the heartaches 

Dear old daddy I've caused you to bear 

If I could erase the lines from your face 

And bring back the gold to your hair 

If God would but grant me the power 

Just to turn back the pages of time 

I'd give all I own if I could but atone 

To that silver haired daddy of mine 

I know it's too late dear old daddy 

To repay for the sorrows and cares 

But dear mother is waiting in heaven 

Just to comfort and solace you there
