DADDY AND HOME
Songwriters: Jimmie Rodgers / Elsie McWilliams
As recorded by Jimmie Rodgers, 1928.

I am dreaming tonight of an old Southern town
And the best friend that I ever had,
For I've grown so weary of roaming around.
I'm going back home to my dad.

CHORUS: Your hair has turned to silver; I know you're fading too.
Daddy, dear ol' Daddy, I'm coming back to you.
You made my boyhood happy, but still, I longed to roam.
I've had my way, but now I'll say: "I long for you and for home." [YODEL]

Dear ol' Daddy, you shared my sorrows and joys.
You tried to bring me up right.
I know you'll still be just one of the boys,
So I'm starting back home tonight.

REPEAT CHORUS AND YODEL
