Lyrics

Mama’s crying in the kitchen, sister slams the bathroom door
Little Brother’s on the floor he’s sighing, wonderin' what the fuss is for
Daddy’s on the back porch singin’, gotta bottle with him out there too
Yeah Daddy just a keeps on ringing, singin’ the blues, singin’ the blues


And we were singin’ Daddy don’t ya sing, Daddy don’t ya sing, Daddy don’t ya sing that song
Daddy don’t ya sing, Daddy don’t ya sing, Daddy don’t ya sing that song
He got that low down song he’s singin’ all night long, all night long


Foreman’s on the phone he’s screamin’, wonderin’ what the hell to do
Bills are piling all around us, lawn it needs a mowing too
But Daddy just a keeps on strumming, ever stronger than it was before
Yeah Daddy just a keeps on hummin’ more and more, more and more


And we were singin’ Daddy don’t ya sing, Daddy don’t ya sing, Daddy don’t ya sing that song
Daddy don’t ya sing, Daddy don’t ya sing, Daddy don’t ya sing that song
He got that low down song he’s singin’ all night long, all night long



“You got a check here from the gov’ment lotto” cried the postman from the front screen door
Sister say she don’t believe it, little brother got up off the floor
“I’m gonna kiss him or I’m gonna kill him” cried Mama flying down the stairs
But Daddy just a keeps on strumming without a care, without a care


And we were singin’ Daddy don’t ya sing, Daddy don’t ya sing, Daddy don’t ya sing that song
Daddy don’t ya sing, Daddy don’t ya sing, Daddy don’t ya sing that song
He got that low down song he’s singin’ all night long, all night long
