Daddy came home last night 'Twas a shock for the folks who knew well That if daddy kept drinking The bottle would kill him And he had no time for his family Back home his house started leakin' And the kids were sent away from school But thank God for the woman who knelt morn' and night To pray for his poor wretched soul Daddy came home last night (came home last night) We're singin', "Hallelujah, Amen!" Since then he's drinkin' from the fountain of life And he says he'll not go back again For years he despised church and Bible All that he wanted was fame If you saw him for a moment You might even have been cheated That daddy was the happiest man But when they told him that his job was over For they couldn't stand his drinkin' anymore He remembered his Father and cried for His mercy And as the angels sang he came runnin' home Daddy came home last night (came home last night) We're singin', "Hallelujah, Amen!" Since then he's drinkin' from the fountain of life And he says he'll not go back again ♪ Yes, Daddy came home last night (came home last night) We're singin', "Hallelujah, Amen!"
