Lyrics:

(Spade Cooley)

Mama and daddy broke my heart
Yesterday when they told me that they must part
I must be brave and I mustn't cry
And I'll love them both till the day that I die.

Down on my knees each night I pray
Mama change your mind and let my daddy stay
For I've been so happy all of my life
And I still want mama to be my daddy's wife.

--- Instrumental ---

I'd trade all my toys and everything
If mama always wear my daddy's wedding ring
For I've been so happy all of my life
And I still want mama to be my daddy's wife...
