MOMMA SEARCHED ALL NIGHT FOR THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY
SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TELL US DADDY'S GOING AWAY
AT THE AGE OF TWO I DIDN'T KNOW A THREE LETTER WORD LIKE WAR
AT THE AGE OF SEVEN I STILL DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE FIGHTINGS FOR
THEN I SEEN MY DADDY HE WAS WAVING GOOD-BYE
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME WE SAW OUR MOMMA CRY
HE WAS A PATRIOT, GOOD SOILDER THROUGH AND THROUGH
HE LIVED AND FOUGHT HIS LIFE FOR THE RED, WHITE & BLUE
STILL GOT THE OLD FISHING POLE THAT HE BOUGHT
STILL GOT MY FIRST RIFLE NEVER TOOK MY FIRST SHOT
LAST TIME I SAW MY DADDY HE WAS WAVING GOOD-BYE
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I SAW MOMMA CRY
HUSH LITTLE BABY DON'T YOU CRY
MOMMAS GONNA SING YOU A LULLABY
ONE THAT'S GONNA LAST FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
REST OF YOUR LIFE
I REMEMBER WHEN THEY DRAPED THE FLAG OVER MY DADDY'S GRAVE
FIRED ALL THE GUNS PLANES FLEW OVER AND I WAIVED
THEY SAID HE DIED A HERO, A MAN THAT WAS REALLY BRAVE
HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO SAVE THE COUNTRY FOR YOU AND ME
HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR HIS COUNTRY TIS' OF THEE
SAID HUSH LITTLE SOILDER DON'T YOU CRY
MOMMAS GONNA SING YOU A LULLABY
ONE THAT'S GONNA TAKE YOU
INTO YOUR NEXT LIFE. BABY BYE BYE
LAST TIME I SAW MY DADDY,
HE WAS FLYING TO THE SKY
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I HAD TEARS IN MY EYE
MOMMA DON'T CRY, DADDY BYE BYE
HUSH LITTLE DARLING DON'T YOU CRY
MOMMAS GONNA SING YOU A LULLABY
SING IT LIKE THE ANGELS
FLOAT ON BY IN THE NIGHT
MOMMA DON'T CRY, DADDY GOOD-BYE

MOMMA SEARCHED ALL NIGHT FOR THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY
SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TELL US DADDY'S GOING AWAY
AT THE AGE OF TWO I DIDN'T KNOW A THREE LETTER WORD LIKE WAR
AT THE AGE OF TWO I DIDN'T WHAT FIGHTING WAS FOR
LAST TIME I SAW MY DADDY'S FACE HE WAS WAVING GOODBYE
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I SAW MY MOMMA CRY
AGE OF TEN SURE MISS MY DADDY A LOT
NEVER WENT FISHING STILL GOT THE POLE HE BOUGHT
DRAPE THE FLAG FROM TOP MY DADDY GRAVE
THEY SALUTED ME AND SAID SON HE WAS THE BRAVE
DADDY DIED A HERO, HERO THROUGH AND THROUGH
FIGHTING FOR THE RED WHITE AND BLUE
I REMEMBER DAY JETS FLEW BY
I STOOD UP AND SALUTED THEM IN THE SKY
I REMEMBER THE DAY THEY GAVE ME THE FLAG
IT'S THE WORST ME AND MOMMA EVER HAD
LAST TIME I SAW MY DADDY HE WAS WAVING GOODBYE
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I SAW MY MOMMA CRY
MAMA DON'T CRY MOMMA DON'T CRY
HUSH LITTLE BABY DON'T YOU CRY
MOMMAS GONNA SING YOU A LULLABY ALL NIGHT
DADDY WAS HERO DID THE BEST HE CAN
DEFENDING OUR COUNTRY IN A FOREIGN LAND
DADDY WAS A HERO PLEASE UNDERSTAND
THAT IS WHY DADDY DIED
TO KEEP US ALIVE
