Daddy’s Gone to Knoxville Mark Knopfler

[Verse 1]
Oh, you're gonna miss your daddy when he's gone
When he's gone
Yeah, you're gonna miss your daddy when he's gone
When he's gone
Daddy's gone down that Gallatin Road
The hen never laid and the corn never growed
Oh, you're gonna miss your daddy when he's gone

[Verse 2]
Oh, I'd rather have a dollar than a dime
Than a dime
Yeah, I'd rather have a dollar than a dime
Than a dime
Daddy's gone down that Crossville track
If he can't make a dollar then he ain't comin' back
Oh, I'd rather have a dollar than a dime

[Verse 3]
Oh, you better love your daddy while you can
While you can
Yeah, you better love your daddy while you can
While you can
Daddy's gone south on the Natchez trace
If he can't show the money then he don't show his face
Oh, you'd better love your daddy while you can
