Another Try

Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
 What did he do it for
 It never made it through our door
 He drank the week away
 What can a family say
 There must be a better way
 Now, Mama don't start to cry
 Let's give him another try
 Pick up the telephone
 Tell him you want him home
 To sit and watch the evenings pass
 And readin' the Leaves of Grass
 I'm caught in a closing door
 It's pinning me to the floor
 Now, Mama don't start to cry
 Let's give him another try
 I'm caught in a closing door
 It's pinning me to the floor
 Now, Mama don't start to cry
 Let's give him another try
 When we're old and gray
 And the things we say
 Are the things we rarely mean
 So why cause a scene
 When things ain't what they seem
 'Cause the end result's the same
 Now what can a family say
 There must be a better way
 Now, Mama don't start to cry
 Let's give him another try
