[00:18.81]Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
[00:25.72]What did he do it for?
[00:30.13]It never made it through our door
[00:34.79]He drank the week away
[00:39.28]What can a family say?
[00:43.77]There must be a better way
[00:48.25]Now Mama, don't start to cry
[00:52.70]Let's give him another try
[00:57.63]Pick up the telephone
[01:02.14]Tell him you want him home
[01:06.46]To sit and watch the evenings pass
[01:11.09]And read in the leaves of grass
[01:15.58]I'm caught in a closing door
[01:20.00]It's pinning me to the floor
[01:24.59]Now Mama, don't start to cry
[01:29.06]Let's give him another try

[01:47.14]I'm caught in a closing door
[01:56.19]It's pinning me to the floor
[02:00.59]Now Mama, don't start to cry
[02:05.13]Let's give him another try
[02:09.11]When we're old and gray
[02:11.46]And the things we say
[02:13.69]Are the things we really mean
[02:18.17]So why cause a scene
[02:20.49]When things ain't what they seem
[02:22.44]'Cause the ending's always the same
[02:27.60]Now what can a family say?
[02:32.01]There must be a better way
[02:36.59]Now Mama, don't start to cry
[02:41.01]Let's give him another try
