Lyrics
Folks, my sweet daddy done left me
And that's the reason why I'm gonna sing you this song
When I woke up this mornin', he was gone
Oh, he made me mad, I felt so sad
And he wouldn't even tell me the reason why
Oh, how he loved to dance, that old grizzly bear
I guess he's gone to Frisco, tryin' to dance it out there
'Cause when I woke up this mornin', he was gone
Oh-ooh, when I woke up this mornin', he was gone
Oh, he made me so mad, Lord, I felt so sad
And he wouldn't even tell me the reason why
Oh, how he loved to dance, that old grizzly bear
I bet, he's gone to Frisco, tryin' to dance it out there
'Cause when I woke up this mornin', he was gone
Lord, he's gone, gone, gone
He's gone, gone, gone
It's always a sign, everybody knows it's true
The more you do for people, the less they gonna think of you
Like he left the town and he throwed me down
And he's gone, gone, gone
Oh-ooh, when I woke up this mornin', he was gone
And that's the reason why I'm gonna sing you this song
When I woke up this mornin', he was gone
Oh, he made me mad, I felt so sad
And he wouldn't even tell me the reason why
Oh, how he loved to dance, that old grizzly bear
I guess he's gone to Frisco, tryin' to dance it out there
'Cause when I woke up this mornin', he was gone
Oh-ooh, when I woke up this mornin', he was gone
Oh, he made me so mad, Lord, I felt so sad
And he wouldn't even tell me the reason why
Oh, how he loved to dance, that old grizzly bear
I bet, he's gone to Frisco, tryin' to dance it out there
'Cause when I woke up this mornin', he was gone
Lord, he's gone, gone, gone
He's gone, gone, gone
It's always a sign, everybody knows it's true
The more you do for people, the less they gonna think of you
Like he left the town and he throwed me down
And he's gone, gone, gone
Oh-ooh, when I woke up this mornin', he was gone
