LYRICS
Daddy’s gone
Daddy’s gone to go to work today
To make a little money
He gotta get paid
Bake a cake
Bake a cake and set in on a plate
Up high where the dogs can’t get it
So it don’t get ate
When you lay your head on your pillow
I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone
When you breathe your dreams into your pillow
Like a song
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
Close your eyes
Close your eyes until your dreams arrive
And keep ’em tied where the hounds can’t get ’em
So they don’t get ate
When you raise your head from your pillow
Don’t delay
‘Cause people decay
When you let the rays of the sun
Help you along
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
I woke up and all my yesterdays were gone
