Daddy oh sweet daddy, please don't drive me away (2x)
I love you sweet papa, please let your mama stay

Don't let your whiskey, drive away your only friend (2x)
You know I've stuck with you, sweet daddy through thick and thin

I've worked so hard for you, till morning I was almost dead (2x)
Just for daddy to have, some place to lay his weary head

But now, I'm bein' treated like a slave (2x)
Your goin' to let bad whiskey carry you to your grave
