Tell me why my daddy don't come home
A little tot was playing one night upon the floor Her mother sat and id'ly watched the little girl of four All at once she dropped her toys and tears beging to shed She climbed upon her mother's knee and this is what she said Tell my why my daddy don't come home I know that I am much to big to cry Why don't he come and play with me again Mommy why did daddy say goodbye That night she wrote a letter to one whose name she bore She asked him to forget the past and come back once more You little girl is pleading and calling Daddy's name Oh, Won't you please come back again so she won't have to say * Refrain
