Come dearie,
the daughter of Mother Machree,
wouldn't use her
as you are using me;
you've been was up high in the air
night and day,
Oh what will your friends
and the neighbours say.

Daughter, I'm saying come down
your place is here on the ground;
how do I know what you're up to up there,
you and that boy in the air.
Daughter,
I'm saying come down,
your place is here on the ground;
they call you flapper
but I call you a clown,
DawdawDaughter come down.

Daughter, I'm saying come down
your place is here on the ground;
how do I know what you're up to up there,
you and that boy in the air.
Daughter,
I'm saying come down,
your place is here on the ground;
they call you flapper
but I call you a clown,
DawdawDaughter come down.

The buggy was bad and
the auto was worse,
but these air contraptions
are naught but a curse;
they've got them to work
with no hands on the stick,
they're safe, but you're not,
and I'm worried sick.

Daughter, I'm saying come down
your place is here on the ground;
how do I know what you're up to up there,
you and that boy in the air.
Daughter,
I'm saying come down,
your place is here on the ground;
they call you flapper
but I call you a clown,
DawdawDaughter come down.

Daughter, I'm saying come down
your place is here on the ground;
how do I know what you're up to up there,
you and that boy in the air.
Daughter,
I'm saying come down,
your place is here on the ground;
they call you flapper
but I call you a clown,
DawdawDaughter come down.

It used to be that
you'd do as you were told,
now you've got so carefree
and mighty bold;
it's nat'ral to love when
the right boy you've found,
but take my advice
and love on the ground.

Daughter, I'm saying come down
your place is here on the ground;
how do I know what you're up to up there,
you and that boy in the air.
Daughter,
I'm saying come down,
your place is here on the ground;
they call you flapper
but I call you a clown,
DawdawDaughter come down.

Daughter, I'm saying come down
your place is here on the ground;
how do I know what you're up to up there,
you and that boy in the air.
Daughter,
I'm saying come down,
your place is here on the ground;
they call you flapper
but I call you a clown,
DawdawDaughter come down.

It's out of the cradle
right into the air,
when I think what I'm missing
it doesn't seem fair;
so push back the clouds
clear a path to the sky,
your mother's woke up
and she's gonna fly.

Daughter,
don't dare to come down,
it's not safe for you on the ground;
I don't give a care
what you're up to up there,
I too have a boy in the air.
Daughter,
don't dare to come down,
It's not safe for you on the ground;
we'll fool your dad
with a wink and a frown,
when I'm calling Daughter come down.

Daughter,
don't dare to come down,
it's not safe for you on the ground;
I don't give a care
what you're up to up there,
I too have a boy in the air.
Daughter,
don't dare to come down,
It's not safe for you on the ground;
we'll fool your dad
with a wink and a frown,
when I'm calling Daughter come down.
