Betty Anne - Daddy Lyrics

This is a song about my favorite guy
My one and only
About the guy who gave me all that I am
Then sent me free
To be me

He's a jolly old soul, always laughing
Would'nt cause any pain
He was my very own Santa Claus
If he could help you
He'd do anything

Oh Daddy, Daddy, won't you please get well
I'm begging you daddy as you can tell
There wasn't much I thought that you couldn't do
Oh please Daddy, I'm counting on you

When he got out of high school he realized
There's a lot of world he hadn't seen
So he, Ernie and Dale, set out to live their dreams
They went out west, saw the snow climb down the mountain

Until they ran out of money, had to find work
They went to the coal mines until the man said
Hey boys you're crazy
So they went to Declo Idaho
Where they picked a peck of potatoes

Now he's living his life just as he pleases
That's how it ought to be
You and mom go live and be free
Don't you worry about me
I'll be who you taught me to be

Oh Daddy, Daddy, won't you please get well
I'm begging you daddy as you can tell
There wasn't much I thought that you couldn't do
Oh please Daddy, I'm counting on you

I could count on you daddy
Daddy you always came through
Oh Daddy
You pushed me too
Oh Daddy
Thank you
