My Idaho Home - Ronee Blakley

作词：Ronee Blakley

作曲：Ronee Blakley

Mama and Daddy raised me with lovin' care

They sacrificed so I could have a better share

They fed me and nursed me and send me to school

Mama taught me how to sing

Daddy lived the golden rule

When I think of the children alone and afraid

Abandoned and wild like a fatherless child

I think of my mama and how she could sing

Harmony with my daddy

Our laughter would ring

Down the highways On the beaches

Just as far as memory reaches

I still hear daddy singin' his old army songs

We'd laugh and count horses as we drove along

We were young then we were together

We could bear floods and fire and bad weather

And now that I'm older

Grown up on my own

I still love Mama and Daddy best and my Idaho home

Mama grew up on the prairies of Kansas

She was tender and sweet

The dust and tornadoes blew 'round her

But they left her straight up on her feet

My daddy grew up on his own more or less

His mama died when he was just 11

He had seven sisters to raise him

But he dreamed of his mama in heaven

His daddy drank whiskey and had a sharp eye

He sold chicken medicine farmers would buy

Together they hunted the fields and the farms

When his daddy died

My daddy rest in my mama's arms

Down the highways On the beaches

Just as far as memory reaches

I still hear daddy Singin' his old army songs

We'd laugh And count horses as we drove along

We were young then

We were together

We could bear floods and fire and bad weather

And now that I'm older

Grown up on my own

I still love Mama and Daddy best and my Idaho home

And now that I'm older

Grown up on my own

I still love my Mama and Daddy best and my Idaho home

For Mama and Daddy
