Now daddy I'll treat you right

And promise never to fight

If you'll only come back to me

Well I'll work hard every day

And you can have all of my pay

If you'll only try and agree

Well you can knock me down

Knock me up and even kick me

Or black both my eyes

But daddy please don't you quit me

I will rub and scrub and eat the suds

If you'll only come back to me

A dollar when the rain turns the snow when it's ninety below

That's when I'll come back to you

When I have nothing to eat

No shoes on my feet

Well then I'll cogitate over your veritability

You may have somebodyelse I love sweet

Silver mine a cobalt mine

When you lost me

Know when box cars are flying around

And when blue turns to brown

Yes here we

If I'll only come back to you
