Merle Haggard Daddy Won't Be Home Again For Christmas
Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
But I just hope that this little check will fit
Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
Maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget
The Christmas tree, where I'll be, won't be lighted
But the rain and cold will let us know December's here
Forgive me for the letters I don't answer
But I keep thinking I'll be home again each year
But daddy won't be home again for Christmas
Here's hoping that this little check will fit
Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
Maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget
I know Santa Claus won't bring you all the things you need
Maybe he will be kinder if he knows
That I won't be home again this year to play his role
Besides I must fit in to wear his clothes
Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
But here's hoping that this little check will fit
No, daddy won't be home again for Christmas
But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget
