Daddy, come on home; won't you come on home
Won't you come on home tonight
Mama's been crying, for such a long time
And we know that something just ain't right
You just didn't come home at the end of a day
We didn't even see you fight
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home
Won't you come on home tonight
People saying things, they're always saying things
Now what're we supposed to think
They're talking 'bout gambling; talking 'bout a woman
'Bout drugs, and they're talking 'bout drink
Mama's says', Mind y'own business; ain't got nothin' to say
Don't you mind what those people think
Can't you come on home, Daddy, come on home
Can't you come on home tonight
I heard people say that you're feeling bad
Well what're we s'posed to do
You can keep on going, just keep on going
Ain't nobody here waiting on you
And we don't care, and Mama don't care
And there's no caring that's coming from you
Don't you come on home, don't you come on home
Don't you come on home tonight
