Sonny lives on a farm In a wide open space Take off your shoes Stay out of the rain Lay down your head On a soft riverbed Sonny always remembers The words Mama said
Sonny, don't go away I'm here all alone Your daddy is a sailor Never comes home Nights are so long Silence goes on I'm feeling so tired And not all that strong
Many years have rolled on Sonny's old and alone His daddy, the sailor Never came home Sometimes he wonders What his life might've been Still from the grave Mama's voice haunts his dreams
Sonny, don't go away I'm here all alone Your daddy, the sailor Never comes home Nights are so long Silence goes on I'm feeling so tired And not all that strong
