Mama said that mean old Daddy aint comin� back no time soon, so don�t go frettin� bout new school clothes.
She told me, I�m gonna have to wit �til she gets paid next week.
But when Mama gets paid�
�
On Sunday, We gonna go to the movies And I�m gonna get me a bucket of popcorn so big
that I can hardly wrap my arms around it
and Milk Duds too! We gonna watch one of those movies about a poor little girl.
Who gets rescued by a handsome prince
And then he�s gonna pick her up with his
strong arms And put her up on his horse
And she�s gonna ride sittin� sideways all the way to the top of the hill
where his castle be shinin�
Maybe someday Daddy gonna comeback and put me up on that pony they got at the park,
Then I can sit sideways too.
When Mama gets paid�On Monday, We gonna go �round the corner to the shoe store
And I�m gonna get me a pair of shoes
that aint got no holes in the bottom
You know, the kind that gets your socks all wet when you wait for the bus on a rainy day
I�m gonna get me some size 3�s with room for my toes to wiggle
I�m gonna get me a pair with red rubies like that Dorothy girl in the movie
Then I can click my heals together and say, Daddy�s coming home, daddy�s coming home, daddy�s coming home,
and go off to some other place where Daddies don�t leave they little girls.
I know when Mama gets paid�On Monday, Mama�s gonna send me off to school with those holy size 2�s.
She�s gonna tell me that the housekeeping manager wants her to work overtime.
I guess those ruby red size 3�s gonna have to wait �til next Friday when Mama gets paid�
Since Daddy aint comin back no time soon.
