Oh, mommy, please come home
Don't be gone too long
You done spoilt my daddy's dream
You went so far away
It would seem that it's not the same

I'm tired of seein' him cryin'
Cryin' like a child
It hurts to see him sighin'
Mommy, please come home
(Mommy, please come home)

Now daddy's gettin' old - real cold - nearly gray
It's almost enough to break my heart
Especially when I say, "Uh...Hello, dad!"
He's miles away

I'm tired of seein' him cryin'
Cryin' like a child
It hurts to see him sighin'
Mommy please come home
(Mommy please come home)

I'm cryin', Oh, I'm cryin' for the first time in my life
There's not the slightest chance of dreamin' -
Dreamin' his dream
Sometimes I almost feel like screamin'

Mommy, please come home
(Mommy, please come home)
Oh, Mommy, please come home
You're my daddy's dream
