Daddy And My Mama And Me Lyrics

(Jimmy Gateley)

My daddy and my mama and me
Walkin' on this old burnt ground
Must be a hundred and three
Travelin' from town to town.

Maybe we can find work today
Sweatin' in this old hot sun
Then we can buy something to eat
Before another day is done.

The harvest has sure been slow
The drought hit us hard this year
But daddy said we'd have to go
Winter mustn't find us here.

So my daddy and my mama and me
Packed everything we owned
Put it in this old suitcaseBill Anderson - Daddy And My Mama And Me - http://motolyrics.com/bill-anderson/daddy-and-my-mama-and-me-lyrics.html
And left the place that we called home.

Now daddy isn't gettin' any younger
And mama bless her heart looked so sad
But we've always been a family with lots of pride
And thankful for everything that we've had.

So, I know that somehow we're gonna make it
It's gonna take more than this old drought to stop us, you'll see
I've got a feeling the grass is gonna be
Greener for my daddy and my mama and me.

My daddy and my mama and me
Walkin' on this old burnt ground
Must be a hundred and three
Travelin' from town to town.

My daddy and my mama and me
Just my daddy and my mama and me...
