[00:08.40]Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life
[00:11.21]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[00:31.76]She never wanted to be more than
[00:37.00]A mother and a wife
[00:42.40]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[00:45.93]The only thing that seemed
[00:48.78]To be inportant in her life
[00:53.15]Was to make a house a home and to make us happy
[01:04.26]Mama never wanted anymore than what she had
[01:08.52]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[01:10.43]He often left her alone
[01:14.07]She didn't mind the stayin' home
[01:21.96]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[01:27.60]And she never missed
[01:30.02]The flowers and the cards he never sent her
[01:33.18]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[01:35.28]Being took for granted was a that thing she accepted
[01:39.02]And she didn't need those things to make her happy
[01:41.29]And she didn't seem to notice
[01:43.56]That he didn't kiss and hold her
[01:45.25]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[01:47.47]One morning we awoke just to find a note
[01:50.60]Mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
[01:53.29]And as he began to read it out ears could not beleive it
[01:56.71]The words she had written there to daddy
[02:00.96]She said the kids are old enough
[02:04.09]They don't need me very much
[02:05.26]I've gone in search for love I need so badly
[02:08.75]I have needed you so long
[02:21.86]But I just can't keep holding on
[02:23.72]She never meant to come back home
[02:26.08]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[02:27.70]Good-bye to daddy
