There's a tiny house with a little white fence at the end of Tucker Road Where a baby girl and her mother lived, many years ago Pretty as a princess in thrifty nickel clothes She sang this song and this is how it goes Daddy, are you coming home to play with me today After all the chores are done an' I've put my dolls away? Mamma says I'm almost grown Oh, how time slips away Daddy, are you coming home today? Well, her mother stood beside her, as she grew up to be A free livin' writer an' a home comin' queen At night, she'd talk to Jesus before she'd go to sleep She sang this song and prayed, her soul to keep Daddy, are you coming home to play with me today After all the chores are done an' I've put my dolls away? Mamma says I'm almost grown. Oh, how time slips away Daddy, are you coming home today? With a daughter of her own now beside her She holds back the tears when she hears her baby say Daddy, are you coming home to play with me today After all the chores are done an' I've put my dolls away? Mamma says I'm almost grown Oh, how time slips away Daddy, are you coming home today? Daddy, are you coming home today? Daddy, are you coming home today?
