Lyrics
Oh momma, where's my daddy
Asking about the whereabouts of the father
why don't he ever come around
Questioning why the father doesn't visit
momma, where's my daddy
Repeating the inquiry about the father's location
is he nowhere to be found
Wondering if the father is completely absent
Momma, where's my daddy
Reiterating the query regarding the father's absence
can we call him on the phone
Inquiring if they can contact the father
does he ever think about us
Wondering if the father thinks about them
or does he have a heart of stone
Speculating if the father is emotionally insensitive
Momma, what's the matter
Concerned about the mother's emotional state
why's there water in your eyes
Noticing the mother's tears and questioning the reason
do you need him as much as I do
Wondering if the mother misses the father as much as the speaker does
I love you momma, please don't cry
Expressing love for the mother and asking her not to cry
Where does he come from
Curiosity about the father's origins
what does he look like
Interest in the father's appearance
does he have a face like mine
Wondering if the father resembles the speaker
is he ever comin' back here
Questioning if the father will return
and why'd he leave us all behind
Asking why the father abandoned them
Momma, when did you and daddy
Asking when the parents got married
get married
Suggesting a possible year of marriage
was it 19 and 83
Receiving clarification that the father was married to someone else
"Son, your daddy and I were married
Explanation about the father's marital status
but he just wasn't married to me"
Clarifying that the father was married but not to the speaker's mother
Oh momma, where's my daddy
Repeating the question about the father's absence
why don't he ever come around
Questioning the father's infrequent visits
Momma, where's my daddy
Reiterating the query about the father's whereabouts
is he nowhere to be found
Expressing uncertainty about the father's location
