Silver Haired Daddy is a different song, written by Gene Autry. Daddy and Home is from Jimmie Rodgers.

C Your hair.....G7 silver, I know ... C too. F Daddy dear old C Daddy....I'm G7 Coming back to you. You C made my boyhood G7 happy, F still I long to E7 E roam. I've F had way C now I will ..... I G7 long for you and for C home.

I'm not saying that these are the actual chords used by Lead Belly, but the sequence seems to fit. You can change from G to G7 etc. but I tend to simplify my chords and rely on my voice to carry the song.

I think the Jimmie Rodgers song pretty well fits the bill for the lyrics.

It was once known as, That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine, until, it seems, Lead Belly worked on it.

Could it be this one, by Jimmie Rodgers?

Daddy and Home - Jimmie Rodgers

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, oh Daddy,
    I'm coming back to you.

    You made my boyhood happy,
    But still, I long to roam.
    I've had my way, but now, I'll say,
    I long for you and for home.
    (YODEL)

Dear old 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.

    CHORUS
