Sonny lives on a farm on a wide open space |
| [00:12.350] |
And Kick off your shoes , stay out of the race |
| [00:17.830] |
And you can lay down your head by the soft river bed |
| [00:23.630] |
Sonny always remembers the words his Mama said |
| [00:33.470] |
Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone |
| [00:45.590] |
And Your daddy's the sailor who never comes home |
| [00:54.800] |
The nights get so long, and the silence goes on |
| [01:06.120] |
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong |
| [01:18.930] |
Sonny works on the land though he's barely a man |
| [01:25.050] |
There ain't much to do, yet he does what he can |
| [01:30.850] |
And he sits by the window in his room by the stairs |
| [01:37.580] |
Watches the waves gently wash on the pier |
| [01:46.650] |
Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone |
| [01:58.660] |
Your daddy's the sailor who never comes home |
| [02:07.770] |
The nights get so long, and the silence goes on |
| [02:19.290] |
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong |
| [02:32.170] |
Many years have passed on, Sonny's old and alone |
| [02:38.290] |
His daddy's the sailor never came home |
| [02:44.490] |
Sometimes he wonders what his life must have been |
| [02:50.800] |
But from the grave Mama still haunts his dreams |
| [02:59.940] |
Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone |
| [03:11.970] |
Your daddy's the sailor who never comes home |
| [03:21.160] |
The nights get so long, and the silence goes on |
| [03:32.480] |
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong |
| [03:45.230] |
Sonny don't go away, |
| [03:51.300] |
Sonny don't go ..... |
| [03:57.050] |
Sonny don't .... |
| [04:10.210] |
