When night is creepin'
And I should be sleepin' in bed,
If you were peepin',
You'd find that I'm weepin' instead.
My lovin' daddy left his baby again--
Said he'd come back but he forgot to say when!
Night after night, I'm cryin'
Daddy, won't you please come home?
Daddy won't you please come home?
I'm so lonesome.
No one can fill that vacant chair.
Home isn't home when you're not there.
No need to knock--the door is open for you.
Please, daddy!
Even the clock keeps tickin'
Daddy, won't you please come home?
Daddy, do you have to roam so very long?
There's lots of other new sheiks who would like to be sheikin'.
Haven't slipped yet, but I'm liable to weaken.
Daddy, daddy, won't you please come home?
That's all!
Annette Hanshaw lived from October 18, 1901, to March 13, 1985.
