Daddy Dumplin'

(album: The Happiest Girl In The Whole U.S.A. - 1972)

Daddy Dumpling I love you
And your still my best buddy
So I wrote you this Daddy Dumpling song

I used to tag along behind you
Hanging on to the patches
That momma sewed on your faded overalls

And every step I took behind you
I was learning all about you
And I'm glad I got to know you from it all

Now I can almost touch your shoulder
And we're both a little older
Since mother died I know I ain't been home

But daddy just in case you're thinking
Nobody loves you
Well I wrote you this Daddy Dumpling song

Daddy Dumpling I love you
And your still my best buddy
I wouldn't trade you for all the daddies in the world

Daddy Dumpling I miss you
And my heart is always with you
And no matter what you do I'll be your girl

And now I hear you found a lady
And there's gonna be a wedding
Well can I come and be your flower girl

'Cause I don't want to miss a chance
To wish you love and happiness
As you begin to rebuild your world

Daddy Dumpling I love you
And your still my best buddy
I wouldn't trade you for all the daddies in the world

Daddy Dumpling I miss you
And my heart is always with you
And no matter what you do I'll be your girl

Daddy Dumpling I love you
And your still my best buddy
I wouldn't trade you for all the daddies in the world

Daddy Dumpling I miss you
And my heart is always with you
And no matter what you do I'll be your girl
