| [00:08.36] |
Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life |
| [00:11.17] |
If she did she never did say so to daddy |
| [00:31.73] |
She never wanted to be more than |
| [00:36.97] |
A mother and a wife |
| [00:42.37] |
If she did she never did say so to daddy |
| [00:45.90] |
The only thing that seemed |
| [00:48.74] |
To be inportant in her life |
| [00:53.12] |
Was to make a house a home and to make us happy |
| [01:04.23] |
Mama never wanted anymore than what she had |
| [01:08.48] |
If she did she never did say so to daddy |
| [01:10.39] |
He often left her alone |
| [01:14.04] |
She didn't mind the stayin' home |
| [01:21.93] |
If she did she never did say so to daddy |
| [01:27.57] |
And she never missed |
| [01:29.98] |
The flowers and the cards he never sent her |
| [01:33.15] |
If she did she never did say so to daddy |
| [01:35.24] |
Being took for granted was a that thing she accepted |
| [01:38.98] |
And she didn't need those things to make her happy |
| [01:41.25] |
And she didn't seem to notice |
| [01:43.52] |
That he didn't kiss and hold her |
| [01:45.21] |
If she did she never did say so to daddy |
| [01:47.44] |
One morning we awoke just to find a note |
| [01:50.57] |
Mama carefully wrote and left to daddy |
| [01:53.26] |
And as he began to read it out ears could not beleive it |
| [01:56.68] |
The words she had written there to daddy |
| [02:00.93] |
She said the kids are old enough |
| [02:04.05] |
They don't need me very much |
| [02:05.23] |
I've gone in search for love I need so badly |
| [02:08.72] |
I have needed you so long |
| [02:21.82] |
But I just can't keep holding on |
| [02:23.69] |
She never meant to come back home |
| [02:26.04] |
If she did she never did say so to daddy |
| [02:27.67] |
Good-bye to daddy |
