In a vine-covered shack in the mountains

Bravely fighting the battle of time

There's a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows

It's that silver haired daddy of mine
If I could recall all the heartaches
F C
Dear old daddy, I've caused you to bear
G7 C
If I could erase those lines from your face
D G7
And bring back the gold to your hair
C
If God would but frant me the power

Just to turn back the pages of time

I'd give all I own if I could but atone
C G7 C
To that silver haired daddy of mine
I know it's too late, dear old daddy

Tho dear mother is waiting in Heaven

Just to comfort and solace you there
