Oh momma, where's my daddy
why don't he ever come around
momma, where's my daddy
is he nowhere to be found

Momma, where's my daddy
can we call him on the phone
does he ever think about us
or does he have a heart of stone

Momma, what's the matter
why's there water in your eyes
do you need him as much as I do
I love you momma, please don't cry

Where does he come from
what does he look like
does he have a face like mine
is he ever comin' back here
and why'd he leave us all behind

Momma, when did you and daddy
get married
was it 19 and 83
"Son, your daddy and I were married
but he just wasn't married to me"

Oh momma, where's my daddy
why don't he ever come around
Momma, where's my daddy
is he nowhere to be found
