Met my man this morning, standing in the door
When I got back he said ‘I don’t want you no more’
Goodbye – Goodbye, Daddy, Goodbye
Can’t always tell - you treat ’em right
Your man go out from you, stay out all day and night
Goodbye – Goodbye, Daddy, Goodbye
That man wrote me a letter, said ‘Mama please come home’
When I got home last night, found my Daddy had gone
Goodbye – Goodbye, Daddy, Goodbye
Da da da da da da da... etc
Goodbye – Goodbye, Daddy, Goodbye
Ain’t got nobody to tell my troubles to
Lay down in my bed and cried the whole night ‘bout you
Goodbye – Goodbye, Daddy, Goodbye
Oh goodbye Daddy, Daddy please tell me goodbye
If you don’t want me, Daddy, Mama’ll sure lay down and die
Goodbye – Goodbye, Daddy, Goodbye
Da da da da da da da... etc
Goodbye – Goodbye, Daddy, Goodbye
