You know, folks,
this is one of my favorites.
If you can kind of fashion me
sitting back on the prairie,
singing this song
with the beautiful stars twinkling overhead,
you'll see Wolf Carter
as he sings this beautiful number.
I am dreaming tonight
of an old southern town
and the best friend that I ever had.
I've grown so weary of roaming around
I'm go ing back home to my dad
Your hair has turned to silver
I know you're failing too
Oh daddy, dear old daddy,
I'm coming back to you
You've made my boyhood happy,
you sure did
But still I long to roam
I've had my way, but now I'll say
I long for you and for home
Oh, daddy, oh, Lee, Lee, Lee, oh, Lee
Dear old daddy,
you shared my sorrows and joys
You tried to bring me upright
I know you'll still be one of the boys,
so I'm starting back home tonight.
Are you waiting, Daddy?
Your hair has turned to silver.
I know you're failing too.
Oh, Daddy dear, oh, Daddy,
I'm coming home to you.
You've made my boyhood happy,
it was a wonderful boyhood,
but still I long to roam.
I've had my way, but now I'll say
I long for you and for home
Oh, Lee, Daddy
Oh, Lee, oh, Lee, oh, Lee
Oh, oh, Lee
