Daddy, Daddy,
Why'd you go?
Out into the
Cold white snow
Mommy never told me
Why you left us.

You said you had to
Go and fight,
Outon that
Cold black night.
That I still don't
Really understand.

Mommy told me you went to war.
When she said this,
My throat got sore,
You'll probably not see me again,
Daddy.

Today Mommy got a pack.
She started crying and said
You won't be back.
Why did you have to go and leave us,
Daddy?

Now I really understand,
You were just fighting,
Just being a man.
I wish you could come home to us,
Daddy.
