Sonny Songtext / Lyric

Sonny lives on a farm, in a wide open space

Take off your shoes, stay out of the race

Lay down your head, on a soft river bed

Sonny always remembers the words Mamma says



Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone

Your Daddy's a sailor, never comes home

Nights are so long, silence goes on

I'm feeling so tired and not all that strong






Many years have rolled on, Sonny's old and alone

His Daddy the sailor, never came home

Sometimes he wonders what his life might have been

Still from the grave Mama's voice haunts his dreams



Sonny don't go away, I'm here all alone

Your Daddy's a sailor, never comes home

Nights are so long, silence goes on

I'm feeling so tired and not all that strong



Sonny don't go away
