Question
hello mel, once again we call on you. do you know the lyrics to a song by gene autry called " i want a pardon for daddy". thanks colleen.

Answer
Hello again Colleen,

I don't recall all the words, but I think the chorus went like......

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

If you go to the following site, you will find the pages of the sheet music. By clicking on the individual pages (003,004 & 005), you can enlarge them enough for the words to be read.

Glad to be of help. Cheers.........Mel.

Expertise

I have been hooked on Country music since first hearing Jim Reeves in the late 50s. Two of the greatest nights of my life were seeing The Mavericks and Reba McEntire live in London. I am more at home with traditional Country music, but am happy to try and help with any questions relating to songs up to 2000. Please note that I DO NOT have the same knowledge about country music videos or singers private lives.
