What Should I Do - Joe Tex

Sonny lives on a farm
In a wide open space
Take off your shoes
Stay out of the rain
Lay down your head
On a soft riverbed
Sonny always remembers
The words mama said
Sonny
Don't go away
I'm here all alone
Your daddy is a sailor
Never comes home
Nights are so long
Silence goes on
I'm feeling so tired
And not all that strong
Many years have rolled on
Sonny's old and alone
His daddy
The sailor
Never came home
Sometimes he wonders
What his life might've been
Still from the grave
Mama's voice haunts his dreams
Sonny
Don't go away
I'm here all alone
Your daddy
The sailor
Never comes home
Nights are so long
Silence goes on
I'm feeling so tired
And not all that strong
Sonny
Don't go away
