Mark Knopfler - Daddy's Gone to Knoxville lyrics

Oh, you're gonna miss your
Daddy when he's gone when he's gone
Yeah, you're gonna miss your
Daddy when he's gone when he's gone
Daddy's gone down that Gallatin Road
The hen never laid and the corn never growed
Oh, you're gonna miss your
Daddy when he's gone

Oh, I'd rather have a dollar than a dime
Than a dime
Yeah, I'd rather have a dollar than a dime
Than a dime
Daddy's gone down that Crossville track
If he can't make a dollar
Then he ain't comin' back
Oh, I'd rather have a dollar than a dime

Oh, you better love your daddy while you can
While you can yeah, you better love your
Daddy while you can while you can
Daddy's gone south on the Natchez trace
If he can't show the money then
He don't show his face
Oh, you'd better love your
Daddy while you can

Oh, your daddy's gone to Knoxville now
Knoxville now
Yeah, your daddy's gone to Knoxville now
Knoxville now
Daddy's gone down that Knoxville Road
The dog never barked and
The cock never crowed
Oh, your daddy's gone to Knoxville now
