lyrics

Don’t Go Away
S & H Owens

Don’t go away, don’t go away
There’s a fox in the hen house so don’t go away
Don’t go away, don’t go away
Daddy please don’t go away

Daddy oh Daddy where have you gone
Woke up this morning, knew something was wrong
The door is wide open, the porch light is on
Oh Daddy won’t you please come home

Daddy oh Daddy the well has gone dry
Sister is hungry and it makes mother cry
If the rain doesn’t come soon, the crops will all die
Oh Daddy won’t you please come (come back) home

CHORUS

Daddy oh Daddy why do you roam
My heart will be broken and turn into stone
Mamma she’s been drinking and baby’s alone
Oh Daddy won’t you please come home

Daddy oh Daddy the old mule is dead
Died in her sleep in the back of the shed
I found the fox sleeping right under your bed
Oh Daddy won’t you please come home

CHORUS

Daddy oh Daddy the cupboard is bare
Baby is crying but Mamma she don’t care
There’s a knife in the kitchen and blood on the stair
Oh Daddy won’t you please come home

Daddy oh Daddy there’s evil all around
It’ll come and take you without any sound
Make you disappear into the cold, cold ground
Oh Daddy won’t you please come home
