Daddy Lonesome - David McWilliams

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
