Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come home, little girl
Your papa ain't salty no more
Come home, little girl
Your papa ain't salty no more
I need your love
And I swear I miss you so
[Verse 2]
I know I was wrong
And I know I've caused you pains
I know I was wrong
And I know I've cause you pains
I'm sorry, pretty baby
I won't do that again
[Verse 3]
Why, oh, why, pretty baby
Why did you have to go?
Why, oh, why, pretty baby
Why did you have to go?
Please come back home, pretty mama
Papa ain't salty no more
