Lyrics

OH MY DADDY

Your father was a farmer and ya come from Winterport
Oh my Daddy
Ya sailed upon a steamship and ya went from port to port
Oh my Daddy

Oh Daddy, how I miss ya so, oh my Daddy
Oh Daddy, you’ve been gone so long, oh my Daddy

You collected coins and stamps to view
Oh my Daddy
You wrote many songs and poems too
Oh my Daddy

Oh Daddy, how I miss ya so, oh my Daddy
Oh Daddy, you’ve been gone so long, oh my Daddy

You had eight children and you loved us all
Oh my Daddy
You told us funny stories and we had a ball
Oh my Daddy

Oh Daddy, how I miss ya so, oh my Daddy
Oh Daddy, you’ve been gone so long, oh my Daddy

You had trophies on your mantlepiece for sports and all
Oh my Daddy
For baseball and for horseshoes and for basketball
Oh my Daddy

Oh Daddy, how I miss ya so, oh my Daddy
Oh Daddy, you’ve been gone so long, oh my Daddy

You loved to read biographies and histories
Oh my Daddy
And stories of adventure and of fantasy
Oh my Daddy

Oh Daddy, how I miss ya so, oh my Daddy
Oh Daddy, you’ve been gone so long, oh my Daddy

When you were just a boy, playin’ hooky from school
Oh my Daddy
You went swimmin’ with your buddies, at the Flat Rock Pool
Oh my Daddy

Oh Daddy, how I miss ya so, oh my Daddy
Oh Daddy, you’ve been gone so long, oh my Daddy

When I was just a boy, I looked up to you
Oh my Daddy
You taught me to be curious and playful too
Oh my Daddy

Oh Daddy, how I miss ya so, oh my Daddy
Oh Daddy, you’ve been gone so long, oh my Daddy
