I have to close this gate

I can no longer wait

It’s getting very late

I have to say goodbye

I say it with a sigh

Teardrops in the eye

It sure enough was fun

But now the time has come

I have not very long

Oh daddy dear I want to say

I’m begging you to stay

Please don’t go away

Your mom is calling sweetie dear

You’ll be alright don’t have no fear

You’re new daddy will be here

My sweet, I love you dearly

And write a letter yearly

Or thereabouts as nearly

I’ll go now, I cannot stay

But every night for you I pray

That you with Angels play.
