Birthday Suit

I Want a Pardon for Daddy - Gene Autry

A dear little girl stood there crying

By an old gloomy prison wall

The warden so kind heard her crying

As he listened to her call

I want a pardon for Daddy

For Mother is lonely and sad

I know he'll go straight

If they'll open the gate

For Daddy was all that we had

Last night while Mother was praying

I prayed to the angels above

I want a pardon for Daddy

Oh bring back the Daddy we love

She said she had come for her Daddy

But the warden just shook his head

For tears in his eyes quickly started

As these words to him she said

I want a pardon for Daddy

For Mother is lonely and sad

I know he'll go straight

If they'll open the gate

For Daddy was all that we had

Last night while Mother was praying

I prayed to the angels above

I want a pardon for Daddy

Oh bring back the Daddy we love
