Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How do you do, Lucy?
You sure been hard to find
I heard you had a daughter
6 years old and I just can't keep from cryin'
[Verse 2]
6 years, Lucy, Lord have mercy
That's a long time
That's a long time
[Verse 3]
Is she pretty, has she grown?
Does she sleep well in a room of her own?
Can I see her?
Does she know that I'm her daddy, I'm her daddy?
[Verse 4]
Did you give her one of my pictures?
Does she carry a picture with her?
Does she show it to the babysitter and say
See that man, that's my daddy, that's my daddy?
[Verse 5]
You should've told me, Lucy
You should've told me, Lucy
Hey, you should've told me, Lucy
[Verse 6]
Oh, Lucy
Oh, Lucy
Oh, Lucy
Oh, Lucy
[Verse 7]
You should've told me, Lucy
You should've told me, Lucy
