Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life

If she did she never did say so to daddy

She never wanted to be more than a mother and a wife

If she did she never did say so to daddy

The only thing that seemed to be important to her life

Was to make our house a home and make us happy

Mama never wanted any more than what she had

If she did she never did say so to daddy

He often left her all alone but she didn't mind the staying home

If she did she never did say so to daddy

And she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her

If she did she never did say so to daddy

Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted

And she didn't need those things to make her happy

And she didn't seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her

If she did she never did say so to daddy

One morning we awoke just to find a note

That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy

And as we began to read it

Our ears could not believe it

The words that she had written there to daddy

She said the kids are older now they don't need me very much

And I've gone in search of love I need so badly

I have needed you so long but I just can't keep holding on

She never meant to come back home

If she did she never did say so to daddy

Goodbye to daddy
