Verse 1 When the day is over And at night when I'm sleeping My mamma kisses me goodnight Verse 2 When she leaves the room My eyes are open I can hear my mamma cryin chorus Daddy has left Without a warning He didnt - even say goodbye Without even thinking I held her in my arms 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 Without any feelings I held her in my arms C'mon mamma dont cry for daddy chorus x2 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.
