A cautionary tale about drug use and abuse

lyrics

Daddy Done

Well hey there little mama. Hey there little son.
I came here to tell you just what your Daddy done.

'Cause he got high, oh so high.
Like a little bird flyin' up in the air. Oh way up in the sky.
Yeah he got stoned. Oh so stoned.
And what goes up must come back down,
and that's what your Daddy done.

Now Daddy was a good man
caught on the wrong side of the law,
and if he wants to come back again
he's gonna have to get down and crawl

'Cause he got high, oh so high.
Like a little bird flyin' up in the air. Oh way up in the sky.
Yeah he got stoned. Oh so stoned.
And the little birdie told the police man.
And the little birdie told the police man,
just what your Daddy done.

And they caught him on the corner with some good stuff in his hand.
By the time he had to come on down he was back up on the stand.

'Cause he got high, oh so high.
Like a little bird flyin' up in the air. Oh way up in the sky.
Yeah he got stoned. Oh so stoned.
And what goes up must come back down,
and that's what your Daddy done.

Now Mamma's on the doorstep. You know she ain't got nothing left.
'Cause the baby won't stop crying and the dog won't walk himself.

'Cause he got high, oh so high.
Like a little bird flyin' up in the air. Oh way up in the sky.
Yeah he got stoned. Oh so stoned.
And what goes up must come back down,
and what goes up must come back down,
and what goes up must come back down,
and that's what your Daddy done.
