Why Don't Mommy Stay With Daddy and Me

Why Don't Mommy Stay With Daddy and Me - Merle Haggard

Why don't my mommy

Stay with my daddy and me

Why does my daddy cry

When I ask where can you be

Why don't you come home

Then we won't be alone

Why don't my mommy stay

With my daddy and me

Each night he's so lonesome

Cause he don't understand

That you'd rather be dancing to

A honky tonk band

I don't know what to tell him

When he climbs upon my knee

And ask why don't my mommy

Stay with my daddy and me

Why don't my mommy stay with

My daddy and me

Why does my daddy cry

When I ask where can you be

Why don't you come home

Then we won't be alone

Why don't my mommy stay

With my daddy and me
