(My Daddy)      Well, a curly-headed girl with a bright shining smile   Heard the roar of a plane as it sailed through the sky   To her playmates she said, with a bright twinkling eye   My Daddy flies that ship in the sky      My Daddy flies that ship in the sky   My Daddy flies that ship in the sky   My Mama's not afraid and neither am I   'Cause my Daddy flies that ship in the sky      Then a button-nosed kid, as he kicked up his heels   He said, My Daddy works in the iron and the steel   My Dad builds the planes and they fly through the sky   And that's what keeps your daddy up there so high      That's what keeps your daddy up there so high   That's what keeps your daddy up there so high   My Dad builds the planes and they fly through the sky   And that's what keeps your daddy up there so high      Then a freckle-faced kid pinched his toe in the sand   He says, My Daddy works at that place where they land   You tell your mama, don't be afraid   My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again      My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again   My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again   Don't be afraid when it gets dark and rains   My Dad'll bring your daddy back home again
