Slim Dusty I Want a Pardon For Daddy Lyrics:
A dear little girl stood there crying,
By an old gloomy prison wall,
The warden so kind heard her crying,
As he listened to her call.

* She said she had come for her Daddy
But the warden just shook his head
For tears in his eyes quickly started
As these words to him she said

I want a pardon for Daddy,
For Mother is lonely and sad,
I know he'll go straight,
If they'll open the gate,
For Daddy was all that we had.

I prayed to the angels above,
I want a pardon for Daddy,
Oh bring back the Daddy we love.

[Instrumental]

I want a pardon for Daddy,
For Mother is lonely and sad,
I know he'll go straight,
If they'll open the gate,
For Daddy was all that we had.

Last night while Mother was praying,
I prayed to the angels above,
I want a pardon for Daddy,
Oh bring back the Daddy we love.
