[Verse 1]
I went to see my daddy about three weeks ago
I went to see my daddy about three weeks ago
When I got there, I saw black crepe hangin' on his door

[Verse 2]
I knew right then that something had gone on wrong
I knew right then that something bad had gone on wrong
In the house I found my daddy dead and gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Lyin' on his death bed, a letter in his hand
Lyin' on his death bed, a letter in his hand
The way it read, said "You have lost your lovin' man"

[Verse 4]
All that I could do was just walk the floor and cry
All that I could do was just walk the floor and cry
Now sometimes I wish to the Lord that I could die
