Smokey River Boys - Happy Father's Day Mama Lyrics

Verse Number One:
Daddy died...when I was two...and you were twenty one...
All alone...a single mom...left to raise a son....
Gave me lots of love & care....like only mama could...
But also took...the time to do...
The things that a daddy should....

(Channel: Fiddle here)
Verse Number Two:
Taught me how to catch a fish...and how to throw a ball...
How to ride my bike...be a big boy when I fall...
Now there's one Sunday every June...I call your special day...
It's so good...to see you smile...
Everytime I say.....

The Chorus

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY....MAMA
HERE'S A CARD I MADE....JUST FOR YOU...
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY...MAMA...
THANKS FOR DOING ALL THE THINGS
THAT DADDY'S DO....

Verse Number Three:
There were things you'd never done...mom...you weren't afraid to try...
Together..we learned to change the oil and how to tie my tie....
If my children ever ask...I will gladly tell...
I learned to be a daddy...cause my mama taught me well...

Repeat The Chorus
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY....MAMA
HERE'S A CARD I MADE....JUST FOR YOU...
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY...MAMA...
THANKS FOR DOING ALL THE THINGS
THAT DADDY'S DO....

Bridge
I used to wonder why sometimes...at night you'd call my name...
Now I know it's just because daddy's was the same...
& tho...you tried to hide from me...the price you had to pay...
I won't forget the sacri..... fices....that you made...

Repeat The Chorus:
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY....MAMA
HERE'S A CARD I MADE....JUST FOR YOU...
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY...MAMA...
THANKS FOR DOING ALL THE THINGS
THAT DADDY'S DO....

Tag:
Thanks for doing...all the things that daddy's do....
