Medley: That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine / Suppertime / Teach Your Children / Don't It Make You Want to Go Home Lyrics

We gon' do some songs
I guess one of the reason why we want to come to this part of the country
Is 'cause it's close to home and we have some
This is the part of Georgia where all of our ancestors originated from
Around this area
And they went to Alabama several years ago
They came and erm, I don't really know how they got there
But this is where they came from
We gon' do this music, some songs we used to
Back early 60's and so forth

In a vine covered shack in the mountains
Bravely fighting the battle of time
There's a dear one who's weathered life's sorrow
It's that silver haired daddy of mine

If I could recall all those heartaches
Dear old Daddy, I've caused you to bear
If I could erase those 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
To that silver haired daddy of mine

Thank you

Many years ago in days of childhood
I used to play 'till evening shadows come
And then winding down that old familiar pathway
Oh, I heard my mother call at set of sun
Yeah there

"Come home, come home, it's suppertime
The shadow's lengthen fast
Come home, come home, it's suppertime
We're going home at last"

Teach your children well
Their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
They seek the truth, before they cannot
Don't you ever ask them why
What they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
And know they love you

Don't it make you wanna go home, now?
Don't it make you wanna go home?
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go home?

Whoa, the whippoorwill roost on the telephone pole
When the Georgia sun goes down
Yes, it's been a long time
But I'm glad to say that I'm
Goin' back down to my home town

But there's a six-lane highway down by the creek
Where I went skinny-dippin' as a child
And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow
And the strawberries used to grow wild

There's a drag strip down by the riverside
Where my grandma's cow used to graze
But, the grass don't grow and the river don't flow
Like it did in my childhood days

Don't it make you wanna go home, now?
Don't it make you wanna go home? (Everybody)
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go home? (Everybody now)

Don't it make you wanna go home, now?
Don't it make you wanna go home? (I can't hear ya)
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go home? (One time now)

Don't it make you wanna go home, now?
Don't it make you wanna go home? (You know this)
All God's children get weary when they roam
Don't it make you wanna go home?
Don't it make you wanna go home?

Thank you, yeah
