In a vine covered shack in the mountains bravely fighting the battle of time

Is a dear one who's weathered life's sorrow it's that silver haired daddy of mine



If I could recall all the heartaches dear old daddy I've caused you to bear

If I could erase the lines from your face and bring back the gold to your hair



If God would but grant me the power just to turn back the pages of time

I'd give all I own if I could but atone to that silver haired daddy of mine

[ harmonica ]

I know it's too late dear old daddy to repay for the sorrows and cares

But dear mother is waiting in heaven just to comfort and solace you there



If I could recall all the heartaches...
