Daddy I’m Coming Back To You

[Chorus]
Your hair has turned to silver
I know you're fading too
Daddy, dear old daddy
I'm comin' back to you
Made my boyhood happy
Still, I longed to roam
I've a-had my way, but now I'll stay
I long for you and for home

[Verse 1]
Daddy, you shared my sorrows and joys
You tried to bring me up right
But still I remember yous a-one of the boys
Now I'm starting back home tonight

[Chorus]
Your hair has turned to silver
I know you're fadin' too
Daddy, dear old daddy
I'm comin' back to you
Did my boyhood happy
Still, I longed to roam
I've a-had my way, but now I'll stay
I long for you and for home

[Bridge]
This here's the last verse
His papa's hair had turned to silver when he got home

[Verse 2]
I'm dreaming tonight of an old Southern town
The best friend I ever had
Been wonderin' and worryin' and rovin' 'round
Now I'm goin' back home to my dad

[Chorus]
Your hair has turned to silver
I know you're fading too
Daddy, dear old daddy
I'm comin' back to you
Made my boyhood happy
Still, I longed to roam
I've a-had my way, but now I'll stay
I long for you and for home
