For Little Jessie

Sometimes out here on this road

Too late to call I see the telephone

My mind's a line running straight for home

And I can see her lying soft and warm

She knows her daddy sings

We know all that the money brings

She thinks our world must be everything

Does she know, she's the precious thing

You and I now we've had our ups and downs

Drove our love nearly out of bounds

Can't go back to a lot of towns

We were doing what was going round

She knows her daddy sings

We know all that the money brings

She thinks our world must be everything

Does she know, she's the precious thing

Two adults lost in a world alone

Take a little love and make a happy home

The little hands brush your wavy hair

And say goodbye and leave you standing there

She knows her daddy sings

We know all that the money brings

She thinks our world must be everything

Does she know, she's the precious thing
