Good Man
I remember the first day
I met you
We were so young
You were a blessing
And there was no guessing
You were the one
Love is so crazy
We had a baby
And said our vows
Thats when you told me
Should anything happen
I can hear you now
You told me
[chorus]
If the sun comes up
And Im not home
Be strong
If Im not beside you
Do your best to
Carry on
Tell the kids about me
When theyre old enough to understand
Tell them that their daddy was
A good man
First anniversary
Remember we
Chose a star
And as I stand Im afraid
I cant help but wonder if
You see it where you are
For whatever reason
You dont see the seasons
Change again
Go there with peace of mind
Well meet on the otherside
Cause true love dont end
And baby
[chorus]
Two eyes
Looking
Up at me
Pointing to a picture like where is he
Mamma are you ok
What did the paper say
To make you cry that way
It said your daddy lived for you
And your daddy died for me
And Ill do the same
[chorus]

Papa Dont Preach
Papa I know youre going to be upset
cause I was always your little girl
But you should know by now
Im not a baby
You always taught me right from wrong
I need your help, daddy please be strong
I may be young at heart
But I know what Im saying
The one you warned me all about
The one you said I could do without
Were in an awful mess, and I dont mean maybe - please
[chorus:]
Papa dont preach, Im in trouble deep
Papa dont preach, Ive been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, Im keeping my baby, oh
Im gonna keep my baby, mmm...
He says that hes going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe well be all right
Its a sacrifice
But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying Im too young, I ought to live it up
What I need right now is some good advice, please
[chorus]
Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good hes been treating me
Youd give us your blessing right now
cause we are in love, we are in love, so please

Open up your eyes it's not the same no more

Daddy Dont Mind
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Sass e frass and joe d glow
Headin out to the picture show
Sweet innocence not yet 18
Daddy dont mind what daddy dont see
Heavy chevy soft top down
One arm driver, the other arm around
Switched on hi fi rocknroll
Gunnin the engine heading for the open road
Given strict instructions
Not to fall for no seductions
Daddy dont mind what daddy dont see
Joe had no such orders
Gonna try and cross the border
Daddy dont mind what daddy dont see
Sass makes the move she straightens her seams
Joe checks in the mirror he thinks hes james dean
He pulls on over says hes got a flat
Sass is no fool she knows where hes at
Chorus
Shes had love and shes had kissin
Knows what shes been missin
No turnin back for little sass e frass
Will they be standin side by side
If their love they cannot hide?
No turnin back for little sass e frass
Sass e frass and joe d glow
Never made it to the picture show
Sweet innocence thrown out the door,
Shell never be the same no more

Dont Let em Take Your Gun
Ohhh, people why dont you come in here and let me talk to you a while.
Thats right, step right up and listen to a concerned citizen speak his piece.
Ill tell you a little something that my daddy told to me.
My basic fundamentals if you want to be free.
cause son, theres somthing wrong internally.
So, if you want your freedom son.
Dont want your country to be overrun.
You got to keep america number one.
(chorus)
My daddy told me son, dont let em take your gun.
Thats what they tryin to do.
Son, dont let em take your gun.
Theyre takin your bill of rights away from you.
My daddy said son, dont let em take your gun.
Thats what they tryin to do.
Son, dont let em take your gun.
Dont let em take your gun away from you.
Ohhh, this year is our anniversary.
Two hundred years, people weve been free.
Wont be nobody takin over our land.
If everybodys brothers got a gun in his hand.
Im tellin you we learned to fight for justice.
Were willing to die for freedom.
Hand in hand.
You got to understand.
We are american men.
Said they want your gun.
Said they want your gun.
Send em on the run.
Send em on the run.
Hip-hurray for fun.
Hip-hurray for fun.
If they do were done.
If they do were done.

Lets do something
Sneak out your bedroom window, girl
And well be gone

I Remember
Writer Dolly Parton
Copyright 1973
I remember I remember I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember meadows and fields of golden wheat
I remember songbirds and sugar cane so sweet
I remember lots of things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember gingerbread my mama used to bake
And I remember home made toys that daddy used to make
Yes I remember many things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember mama and daddy most of all
And our little country home they filled with love
I remember mama and daddy most of all
And all the things they did to make life happier for us
Yes I remember lots of things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember candy that daddy used to bring I remember songs my mama used to sing
Oh I remember many things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember mama and daddy most of all
And how they taught us children right from wrong
I remember mama and daddy most of all
How they used to hope and pray they'd live to see us grown
Oh I remember many things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember I remember I remember mama and daddy most of all most of all

Thats What You Told Me
Thats what you told me baby
Thats what you told me baby
Thats what you told me baby
You drive me crazy
I thought I was the one
When we were together
You would take me to
Another place and time that I could feel free
You were all that I was searching for
Bridge:
Thats just when i
I thought I could lean on you for life
I thought that the sun would always shine
But you took my dreams away
I remember the lies that you told me baby
Chorus:
(one) you told me you love me you need me
(two) you told me you never deceive me
(three) you told me youd always be true
(four)you told me were through, thats what you told me
Thats what you told me baby
Thats what you told me
Tell me was it fun taking my love for granted
Now Im not the one
Everything we used to share has up and gone
I dont need to tell you, you were wrong
(bridge)
(chorus)
Thats what you told me baby
Thats what you told me baby
Thats what you told me baby
You drive me crazy (x2)
Thats what you told me, girl tell me no lie
Do you want to fly super high, super dooper high
No mistakes when Im with you
Know exactly what I wanna do
Lay you down and pursue me
Im super fly, cos Im super high
When Im by your side if you like girl, tell me if you like
One, if you wanna
Two, if youre gonna
Three, time to jive
Four, five bring it live

Our First Born
[verse 1]
Now you made me the proudest daddy,
Girl Im at a loss for words,
Cant explain the feelings in me,
So proud when I heard,
That we were having a little baby,
Girl I couldnt wipe off my smile,
Heaven went and told the world,
That you were having my child,
Words cant explain it
[chorus]
Our first born
Its our first, its our first
Our first born,
Its our first little baby,
Come on, our first born,
Its our first, its our first,
Our first born,
Its our first little baby, cmon
[verse 2]
When you had it something went through me, and it hit my soul,
I had no control,
This little life was mine,
And Ill do anything to protect it,
I will never neglect it,
I will always stand right there,
Im the daddy, Im the father,
Now what that means,
I will always love and care for you always,
Come on just say it again,
Im the daddy, Im the father,
I just cant explain how I feel about our first
[chorus]
Im so proud that we share,
I am so proud that we share,
The most precious thing in the world,
That you could love and share,
Baby I love you,
Yes I do,
Baby do you feel me baby,
Do you hear me, do you hear me

To Daddy
Momma never seemed to miss the finer things in life
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
The only things that seemed to be important in her life
Was to make our house a home and make us happy
Momma never wanted anymore than what she had
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
He often left her all alone
She didnt mind the stayin home
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
And she never missed the flowers
And the gifts he never gave her
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted
And she didnt need those things to make her happy
She didnt even seem to notice
That he didnt kiss and hold her
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
Chorus:
One morning we awoke
Just to find the note
That momma carefully wrote
And left to daddy
And as he began to read it
Our ears could not believe it
The words that she had written there to daddy
She said our kids are old enough
And they dont need me very much
So Ive gone in search for love I need so badly
I have needed you so long
But I just cant keep holdin on
She never meant to come back home
If she did, she never did say so to daddy
Tag:
Mommas gone
Good-bye to daddy

My Daddy
My daddy was never there for me.
My daddy always drank.
My daddy told me I was worthless and unworthy of his time.
My daddy was the one who made me, but also broke me.
My daddy never came to my birthday parties.
My daddy came to my 5Th grade graduation drunk as can be.
My daddy would walk into my room every night with a belt in his hand.
My daddy was the one who shattered all my dreams.
My daddy wouldn't let me sleep until he hit me.
My daddy would tell me I'm nothing but a piece of crap.
My daddy was the one who tore my life into pieces.
My daddy is not my daddy any more...
He can be your daddy if you'll take him.
That man I called my daddy, he never was truly a daddy.
But he was still my daddy.

Walk Away From Love
Move along youre in my way.
Ive made my mind up not to stay
And it dont matter what you do
cos me, Ive had enough of you.
And you can talk about the good times
I can just remember bad times.
There aint nothing left for saying
cos theres no way that Ill be staying
You tell me to remember
When I told you that Id never walk away
(chorus)
Hey baby, dont walk away from love
Tell me baby, aint my love enough,
Listen to the things I say
And tell me why do you walk away from love?
Leave you standing on your own
Its time I spent some time alone
Need a while to think this out
Not sure what its all about.
And its no use to sit there crying
cos I can see youre only lying.
Now Ill put the past behind me
Run some place where you cant find me.
You tell me to remeber
When I told you that Id never walk away.
(chorus repeat)
Bags are packed, I just cant wait.
Gotta get out before it gets too late,
I dont need you any more
And I dont need your love for sure.
And you can talk about the good times
I can just remember bad times.
There aint nothing left for saying
cos there no way that Ill be staying
You tell me to remember when I told you that Id never walk away.

Mamma can you hear me
Mamma can you hear me
I'm going to be a farmer
Blowing the fields in the morning sun
I'll have a millon horses
Take me a ride when the work is done
I'm going to have a sweet life
Sweetest life you ever seen
And when the day is over
Going to go to sleep in the field of green
Mamma can you hear me
Mamma can you hear me
Daddy do you know what I mean
Mamma can you hear me
Mamma can you hear me
Daddy do you know what I mean
Going to be a acter
Playing a part in a light of gold
Oh yes I will
I'm going to make a lot of money
Going to spend it all before I get to old
And I'm going to have a sweet life
Sweetest life you ever seen
And you know when the day is over now
I'm going to go to sleep in a field of green

Daddy's Moonshine Still
Folks say my daddy wasn't much of a man
For disobeying the laws of the land
Folks say that my daddy wasn't fit to kill
Oh and I know it was true what the people said
Cause we'd all've been better of dead
Than to live a life of shame and strife
Cause of daddy's moonshine still
My mama was always sweet and kind
But she grew old before her time
Worryin' about the way we had to live
Yeah my daddy put the wrinkles in my mama's face
He drunk his share of all he made
And just one more reason I grew to hate
My daddy's moonshine still
Chorus:
Daddy's moonshine still was good for nothin'
But to break mama's heart
And to tear our home apart
Make our lives a livin' hell
Them old mason jars that daddy made us wash
And set them out to sun on our back porch
'Til he got ready to take 'em up on the hill
And when daddy got word of the revenue
He made us kids help hide his brew
Made us swear that we never knew
About daddy's moonshine still
Yeah and two of my brothers drove across the state line
Once a week with a load of moonshine
And the wounds that came from that won't ever heal
Cause on a moonshine run one rainy night
My two brothers lost their lives
And oh my god how I despise
My daddy's moonshine still
Repeat Chorus
Well it broke mama's heart but she understood
The day that I left home for good
But I had to find me another way to live
Well I sent mama money nearly every day
And how I made it, well I'd rather not say
But at least it took me far away
From daddy's moonshine still
My bootlegging daddy was known quite well
And he made our home a livin' hell
And I ain't forgot it and I know that I never will
My mama finally died she just gave up
And daddy finally died from drinkin' that stuff
And bad memories haunt the rest of us
From daddy's moonshine still

Daddy Come And Get Me
In this mental institution, lookin' out through these iron bars
How could he put me in here, how could he go that far
Yes i need help but not this kind, he didn't love me from the start
But it's not my mind that's broken, it's my heart
Oh daddy come and get me and take me home with you
I'm depending on you daddy, there's nothing i can do
And you said that i could come to you if i ever was in need
But daddy i can't come to you, you'll have to come to me
When he said he loved another, i was crazy with jealousy
That's 'cause i was crazy over him and i couldn't stand to set him free
And i couldn't stand to lose him and i cried and cried for days
And he said that i was crazy but he just put me in here to get me out of his way
Daddy come and get me
Oh daddy come and get me and take me home with you
I'm depending on you daddy 'cause there's nothing else i can do
And you said that i could come to you if i ever was in need

Daddy's Working Boots
(Dolly Parton)
My dear hard workin' daddy works his life away for us
That's the way that daddy shows to us his love
And Daddy's two hard working hands
They're callous and they're sore
And Daddy's workin' boots have walked a million miles or more
As long as I remember, I remember Daddy workin'
Workin' on the job or either on the farm
Tryin' to provide for the family that he loves
And Daddy's working boots have taken many steps for us
Chorus:
Daddy's workin' boots have served as his foundation
Though just like him, they're tired and worn
For years they've helped him stand
Daddy's working boots have filled their obligation
They've walked that rocky road with a mighty, mighty man
Dear lord above, I know up there my Daddy's got a mansion
And a great reward that's long been overdue
And when it comes my Daddy's time to be with you in heaven
Spoken:
Won't cha let him walk your golden streets
In a pair of brand new golden boots
Repeat Chorus
Daddy's workin' boots

“Maybe next year if we’re lucky”
“Where’s mom daddy? ”

“Is she waiting for us on the corner? ”
“Yeah, that’s kind of our home right now”
“Why can’t we stay here Dad? ”
“Other people live here now”
“Why? ”
“because it’s somebody else’s home now”
“but why daddy? ”

Whats Up
Dede oneal & left eye
(appears on vinyl promo and black history month sampler)
This track is very rare
How long do I let this thing go on
Before I run away
Not begging you to stay
But Id like it if you could
And youre knowin that you should
Be down with the one
Thats gonna love you baby
So stay and stop drivin me crazy
Chorus:
Whats up
Whats up with you and me
Baby I wanna know
Whats up with us
Whats up
Whats up with you and me
Baby I wanna know
Whats up with us
You see Im not tryin
To ride and pressure you
If its somethin you dont wanna do
But I got to let you know
Your position must be known
There aint no reason to front
So I guess I will be blunt
And just let you know that
Im walkin out the door
Unless you tell me right now
What youre gonna do with my love
Oh baby
Chorus
I dont know why
But Ive always tried
Why dont you lay down
Why dont you hang up your tie
Whats up baby
Whats up baby baby baby baby
Oh
Dont be afraid and dont
You fade on my escapade
Fantasy lives within the dream
That we have made
Callin me up 6 in the mornin
The break of dawn and
Before I could imagine that youd be gone and
I think about the times we share
Call it do or dare
Ask me if Im bein fair
Do you really care
See me and you like a holiday
Never too late to celebrate in a lot of ways
Whats up
We really dont need to play
These guessing games no more
Whats up
I gave you all my love you said it was too much
You dont want no more
Whats up
You really didnt need to play
These guessing games no more
Whats up
I gave you all my love you said it was too much
You dont want no more
