hey daddy lonesome
slip me a rhyme
make it easy to remember
I've been sittin' here these last few days
tryin' to get myself together
but everything I try to do
keeps changin' like the weather
and yet when she lay by my side
it all came fast and easy
and when she'd listened to my songs
she'd sing them just to please me
hey daddy lonesome
slip me a rhyme
make it easy to remember
hey daddy lonesome
make it in time
I won't let you down
the music and the poems ran
they tumbled like a fountain
and I could make all things to pass
and master any mountain
now every time I lift my pen
the words don't have much meaning
my guitar strings are out of tune
I wonder am I dreaming
hey daddy lonesome
slip me a rhyme
make it easy to remember
hey daddy lonesome
make it in time
I won't let you down
