Daddy said now come girl we're headed down the road to Augusta 

                                                                          
And faintly through his clenched fists he called mama's name  

            G7 
And then he cussed her 

   C                                                                  G 
He said girl you're young but some dude has come along and stole your mother 

                                         D7                          G 
But you can't steal a willing mind cause mama's always looking for a lover

With dusty teardrops on his face my daddy cried and big steps he was taking 

                                                             G7 
Halfway running to keep up my shorter legs were so tired and shaking 

C                                                        G 
Where did I go wrong girl why she did leave us both this way 

                                   D7                         G 
At times like these a child of ten never knows exactly what to say

We searched in every barroom and honky tonk as well 

                                                                G7 
And finally daddy found them and Lord you know the rest is hard to tell 

C                                                           G 
He sent me out to wait but scared I looked back through the door 

                         D7                            G 
And daddy left them both soaking up the sawdust on the floor
