(Dolly Parton)      Daddy I feel that I must talk to you   Are you sure this is what you want to do   Now it's not for us kids that I beg you to stay   Please don't just walk out on Mama this way.      She's mothered your children, she's spent her whole life   Trying to be a good mother and wife   And she stood by you when the rest let you down   Daddy, how can you walk out on her now?      I'm your oldest daughter, my age twenty-three   Your new love is even younger than me   She's young, she's pretty, her hands soft as dew   While Mama's are withered from working for you.      Mom's not young any more like your new love   But your new love won't love you like my mama does   You've taken her best years, so don't leave her now   Please, Daddy say that you won't let her down.      I'm your oldest daughter, my age twenty-three   Your new love is even younger than me   She's young, she's pretty, her hands soft as dew   While Mama's are withered from working for you.      Daddy, please say that you won't let her down...
