Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life
D7
If she did she never did say so to daddy
G
If she did she never did say so to daddy
C
Was to make our house a home and make us happy
G
Mama never wanted any more that what she had

G
If she did she never did say so to daddy
D7
If she did she never did say so to daddy
G
If she did she never did say so to daddy
C
And she didn’t need those things to make her happy
G
And she didn’t seem to notice that he didn’t kiss and hold her
D7
G
If she did she never did say so to daddy
C
One morning we awoke just to find a note
D7
That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
C
And as we began to read it our ears could not believe it
D7
The words that she had written there to daddy
G
She said the kids are older now they don’t need me very much
C
And I’ve gone in search of love I need so badly
G
I have needed you so long but I just can’t keep holding on

C
G
If she did she never did say so to daddy goodbye to daddy
C
