My daddy he is gone now
just gave up his last breath
and took that final step
along the road to dusty death.
He never was the same
since momma went away
Turned his face round to the wall
never had a word to say.
So family's all gone now
got no-one to lean upon
I am so alone
even my dog is gone.
That's why I'm sitting here
a drinking on my own
even the company of strangers
is better than being alone.
