MOM AND DAD'S WALTZ
(Lefty Frizzell)

as recorded by Patti Page
February 1961


I'd walk for miles, cry or smile
For my momma and daddy,
I want them, I want them to know
How I feel my love is real
For my momma and daddy,
I want them to know I love them so!

In my heart joy tears start 'cause I'm happy,
And I pray every day for mom and daddy, and each night.
I'd walk for miles, cry or smile
For my momma and daddy,
I want them to know I love them so!

I'd fight in wars, do all the chores
For my momma and daddy,
I want them to live on till they're called.
I'd work and slave and never rave
To my momma and daddy,
'Cause I know I owe them my all!

In my heart joy tears start 'cause Im happy,
And I pray every day for mom and daddy, and each night.
I'd walk for miles, cry or smile
For my momma and daddy,
I want them to know I love them so!
