Wagons - Jerry Lyrics

Well sit down my son.
I've got something to say
Your Daddy's got a job
Hundreds of miles away
I'll be leaving real soon
Next Friday night
Got a window seat
On the eight-thirty flight.
Your Mama still be here
To look after your needs
But I'll call you
And I'll write to you
And when you sleep
I'll be in your dreams
But Jerry, the light in your eyes seems
unchanged
Won't you cry? Your Daddy's going away
Well he seemed to take that well
He's such a good little man.
You raise him to be strong
And I'll visit whenever I can
I'll miss out on so much
Something I'II live to regret
But I can't afford to stay here
I can't afford to think about that yet
But Jerry, the light in your eyes seems
unchanged
Won't you cry? Your Daddy's going away
But Jerry, the light in your eyes seems
unchanged
Won't you cry? Your Daddy's going away
You cry when you fall down,
When you couldn't tie your shoe
You don't mean to cause me pain
But Jerry I want you to cry for me too
But Jerry, the light in your eyes seems
unchanged
Won't you cry? Your Daddy's going away
But Jerry, the light in your eyes seems
unchanged
Won't you cry? Your Daddy's going away

Well sit down my son.
I've got something to say
Your Daddy's got a job
Hundreds of miles away
I'll be leaving real soon
Next Friday night
Got a window seat
On the eight-thirty flight.
Your Mama still be here
To look after your needs
But I'll call you
And I'll write to you
And when you sleep
I'll be in your dreams
But Jerry, the light in your eyes seems
unchanged
Won't you cry? Your Daddy's going away
Well he seemed to take that well
He's such a good little man.
You raise him to be strong
And I'll visit whenever I can
I'll miss out on so much
Something I'II live to regret
But I can't afford to stay here
I can't afford to think about that yet
But Jerry, the light in your eyes seems
unchanged
Won't you cry? Your Daddy's going away
But Jerry, the light in your eyes seems
unchanged
Won't you cry? Your Daddy's going away
You cry when you fall down,
When you couldn't tie your shoe
You don't mean to cause me pain
But Jerry I want you to cry for me too
But Jerry, the light in your eyes seems
unchanged
Won't you cry? Your Daddy's going away
But Jerry, the light in your eyes seems
unchanged
Won't you cry? Your Daddy's going away
