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 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 riverbed
Sonny always remembers
the words Mamma says.
Sonny works on the
land, though he's barely a man
There's not much to do
but he does what he can
Sits by his window in
his room by the stairs
Watching the waves
drifting soft on the pier.
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
But from the grave
Mamma still haunts his dreams.
Thank you for the joy
your music has brought me, Dolores Keane. You got me through some hard times. May your memory be for a blessing.
