[00:05.800]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 ....
