WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - I Like To Stay Home With Daddy

My mama she leaves in the morning

Before the sky gets light

I never get to see her

When the sun is shining bright

She runs to catch the trolley

And she works in a factory place

But I like to stay home with daddy

'Cause he never does wash my face.



I eat any old thing I like to eat

At any old time I please

Bananas apples oranges and pork and beans

My daddy listens to the radio

And he hears the horses race

Yes, I like to stay home with daddy

'Cause he never does wash my face.



I bring in the kids from all around

And we fight with clay and mud

We roll and scream and rip and tear

Until we all get tired

Daddy is reading a magazine

He don't want to lose his place

So I like to stay home with daddy

'Cause he never does wash my face.



I like to stay home with you, daddy

'Cause you never do wash my face

You let me do whatever I please

And I snort and run and race

Mama will never know it

'Cause she never comes on the place

Oh I like to stay home with daddy

'Cause he never does wash my face.
