Don't Leave Me Daddy 1916

I've been a thinking about you, daddy,
thinking of you night and day,
I've been afraid
that you'd leave me, daddy,
leave me to go far away!
Think of the day
when we first met each other
you promised me then
we'd be good pals for ever.
Dear if you leave me
it sure will grieve me
don't go away to stay!

Don't leave me, daddy
Won't you tell me why you're leaving?
When you're near me, dearie,
life to me is cheery
Oh, Oh, such a feeling!
Think what you're missing
lots of hugging and some kissing
I don't care how mean you are to me
Daddy, don't you leave me now!
Sweet Papa
Daddy don't you leave me now.

Despite all my pleadings
I feel you'll leave me
somehow you don't act the same!
Tell me now
why you are leaving dearie
I know that I'm not to blame!
Why did you love me
and why did you tease me
and why did you kiss me
and now to displease me?
I'm tired of crying!
There's no use sighing
life without you is tame.

Don't leave me, daddy
Won't you tell me why you're leaving?
When you're near me, dearie,
life to me is cheery
Oh, Oh, such a feeling!
Think what you're missing
lots of hugging and some kissing
I don't care how mean you are to me
Daddy, don't you leave me now!
Sweet Papa
Daddy don't you leave me now.
