A dear little
girl stood there crying
By an old gloomy prison wall
The warden so kind heard her sighing
As you listen to her call
I want a pardon for daddy
For mother is lonely and sad
I know he'll go straight if
you'll open the gate
For daddy was all that we had
Last night while mother was praying
I prayed to the angels above
I want a pardon for daddy
To bring back the daddy we love,
she said she had come for her daddy, but the warden
just bowed his head, for tears in his eyes quickly started,
as these words to him she said,
I want a pardon for daddy,
for mother is lonely and sad.
I know you'll go straight if you'll open the gate,
for daddy was all that we had.
Last night while mother was praying,
I prayed to the angels above.
I want to pardon for daddy,
to bring back the daddy we love.
you
