Nanci Griffith - Daddy Said Lyrics

Send "Daddy Said" ringtone to your cell

Oh I used to wish I was a hard line taker... and they'd say

"Six to one a half dozen'll break her"

'till I fell in love with a young man who sang the blues

Oh bless my daddy he warned me well

He'd whisper in my ear and say "Now look out gal...

There's always a ne'er do well gonna call you the fool"

[Chorus:]

He said "you'll never learn to fish on a borrowed line

You'll never learn to write if you're walkin' 'round cryin'

And it's a pity that you're lover died young but...

You'll never get tired of livin' alone".

So now I dream of the lover that I don't know

It's safer this way 'cuz I don't have to go... oh and he

Won't come... so nobody goes away

Sometimes I wish for the warmth of his hand

Take a look in these eyes and understand

I'm just a little too old to be a-learnin' the rules of the game

[Chorus]

Oh maybe I could take him to Mexico

We'd kick our heels in the warm cloudy gulf

He'd sing a song about the weather in the Poconos
