Verse 1 D When the day is over G D And at night when I'm sleeping A D My mamma kisses me goodnight Verse 2 D When she leaves the room G D My eyes are open A D I can hear my mamma cryin chorus G Daddy has left D Without a warning A He didnt - even say goodbye D Without even thinking G D I held her in my arms A D I can hear my mamma call his name Lead Break Vers 3 Early each morning I can hear the billy boiling It reminds me Of my daddy D Without any feelings G D I held her in my arms A D C'mon mamma dont cry for daddy chorus x2 D A D C'mon mamma dont cry for daddy C'mon mamma dont cry for daddy This song was written by Benny Woodley in Perth, Western Australia 1990.
