I’m a Long Gone Daddy (Health & Happiness Show Three, October 1949) Songtext
von Hank Williams

Start off here with a little song a guy wrote here
A few years ago
This man got tired of his wife beating him on the head with a frying pan
So he wrote her a song, title of it is
"I′m a long gone daddy"

Well, all you wanna do is sit around and pout
And now I got enough and gal I'm getting out, I′m leaving now
I'm leaving now

Well, I'm a long gone daddy, I don′t need you anyhow

I been in the doghouse so doggone long
When I get a kiss I think there′s something's wrong, so I′m leaving now
I'm leaving now

Well, I′m a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow


I remember back when you were nice and sweet
But things have changed, you′d rather fight than eat, so I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now

Well, I′m a long gone daddy, I don′t need you anyhow

I'll go find a gal that wants to treat me right
You go get yourself a man that wants to fight, cause I′m leaving now
I'm leaving now

Well, I′m a long gone daddy, I don't need you anyhow

Well, you start your jaws a-wagging and they never stop
You never shut your mouth until I blow my top, so I′m leaving now
I'm leaving now

Well, I'm a long gone daddy, I don′t need you anyhow

Well, I′m gonna do some riding on the midnight train
I'm taking everything except my ball and chain, ′cause I'm leaving now
I′m leaving now

Well, I'm a long gone daddy, I don′t need you anyhow


Alright, there you got it, I'm a long gone papa
Right now here's our friend again with a little word for ya
So listen, we′ll be back in just a minute
