Lyrics

Daddy why you go and make mamma cry
She’s sitting at the table and won’t say why
With hands on her face, the tears flood through
I don’t know what I should do

Daddy why you go make mamma cry
Was it something I did, did I tell a lie
I cleaned my room, did I do it wrong
No I won’t cry, I’ll be strong

Daddy why you go make mamma cry
Is it ok if I go outside
I watch the clouds, they come alive
I make up stories where I can hide
Bm A9 G D/F#

Years have gone by, now I’m a man
And there’s so many things I now understand
I know life’s never simple - but some things are hard to forgive

Daddy why you go make mamma cry
You going out now, I’ll say good bye
I’ll be asleep when you get home
Leave my light on, please

Mamma its Ok Daddy’s gone
Can I get you something to keep you warm
A cup of tea or a piece of toast
With Vegemite I love it most

Mamma I think I made you smile
Can I sit on your lap for a little while
Can you sing me that song that I like best
I’m getting tired, I might rest

Years have gone by, now with kids of my own
I know noting is simple, we walk our own road
But through all the changes, somethings stay hard to forgive

Daddy why you go make mamma cry
There’s a bruise on her face I don’t why
You tell me I should never hit
Daddy, is that what you did?

Daddy what you go make mamma cry?
Daddy why you go mad mama cry?
