Lead Belly - Daddy I'm Coming Back to You lyrics

Your hair has turned to silver I know you're fadin' too Daddy, dear old Daddy I'm comin' back to you Made my boyhood happy Still I longed to roam I've a-had my way, but now I'll stay I long for you and for home Daddy, you shared my sorrows and joys You tried to bring me up right But still I remember you's a-one of the boys Now I'm starting back home tonight Your hair has turned to silver I know you's fadin' too Daddy, dear old Daddy I'm comin' back to you Made my boyhood happy Still I longed to roam I've a-had my way, but now I'll stay I long for you and for home Spoken: This here's the last verse. His Papa's hair had turned to silver And when he got back home I'm dreaming tonight of an old Southern town The best friend I ever had Been wonderin' and worryin' and rovin' 'round Now I'm goin' back home to my Dad Your hair has turned to silver I know you're fading too Daddy, dear old Daddy I'm comin' back to you Made my boyhood happy Still I longed to roam I've a-had my way, but now I'll stay I long for you and for home
