Sonny

Sonny lives on a farm, in a wide open space

Take off your shoes, stay out of the race

Lay down your head on a soft river bed

Sonny always remembers the words Mamma says

'Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone

Your Daddy's a sailor, never comes home

Nights are so long, silence goes on

I'm feeling so tired and not all that strong'

Many years have rolled on, Sonny's old and alone

His Daddy, the sailor, never came home

Sometimes he wonders what his life might have been

Still from the grave Mamma's voice haunts his dreams

Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone

Your Daddy's a sailor, never comes home

Nights are so long, silence goes on

I'm feeling so tired and not all that strong

Sonny don't go away
