(Dolly Parton)
2
Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life
3
If she did she never did say so to daddy
4
She never wanted to be more than a mother and a wife
5
If she did she never did say so to daddy
6
The only thing that seemed to be important to her life
7
Was to make our house a home and make us happy
8
Mama never wanted any more than what she had
9
If she did she never did say so to daddy
10
He often left her all alone but she didn't mind the staying home
11
If she did she never did say so to daddy
12
And she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her
13
If she did she never did say so to daddy
14
Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted
15
And she didn't need those things to make her happy
16
And she didn't seem to notice that he didn't kiss and hold her
17
If she did she never did say so to daddy
18
One morning we awoke just to find a note
19
That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
20
And as we began to read it
21
Our ears could not believe it
22
The words that she had written there to daddy
23
She said the kids are older now they don't need me very much
24
And I've gone in search of love I need so badly
25
I have needed you so long but I just can't keep holding on
26
She never meant to come back home
27
If she did she never did say so to daddy
28
Goodbye to daddy
