[00:08.36]Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life
[00:11.17]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[00:31.73]She never wanted to be more than
[00:36.97]A mother and a wife
[00:42.37]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[00:45.90]The only thing that seemed
[00:48.74]To be inportant in her life
[00:53.12]Was to make a house a home and to make us happy
[01:04.23]Mama never wanted anymore than what she had
[01:08.48]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[01:10.39]He often left her alone
[01:14.04]She didn't mind the stayin' home
[01:21.93]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[01:27.57]And she never missed
[01:29.98]The flowers and the cards he never sent her
[01:33.15]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[01:35.24]Being took for granted was a that thing she accepted
[01:38.98]And she didn't need those things to make her happy
[01:41.25]And she didn't seem to notice
[01:43.52]That he didn't kiss and hold her
[01:45.21]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[01:47.44]One morning we awoke just to find a note
[01:50.57]Mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
[01:53.26]And as he began to read it out ears could not beleive it
[01:56.68]The words she had written there to daddy
[02:00.93]She said the kids are old enough
[02:04.05]They don't need me very much
[02:05.23]I've gone in search for love I need so badly
[02:08.72]I have needed you so long
[02:21.82]But I just can't keep holding on
[02:23.69]She never meant to come back home
[02:26.04]If she did she never did say so to daddy
[02:27.67]Good-bye to daddy
