Hi.
I heard a country song at the weekend, one of which I haven't heard before. I only caught the last few lines of it.
The song ended with My daddy said googbye. It was a woman that was singing.
Hope you can helpand thanks in asvance.

Answer
Hi Richard!  I think the song you're looking for is "I Don't Want To Play House," by Tammy Wynette.  She released the song in 1967 and even won a Grammy for it.  Hope this helps!

"I Don't Want To Play House" - Tammy Wynette

Today, I sat alone, at the window
And I watched our little girl outside at play
With the little boy next door
Like so many times before
But somethin' didn't seem quite right today

So I went outside to see what they were doing
And then the teardrops made my eyes go dim
'Cause I heard him name a game
And I hung my head in shame
When I heard our little girl say to him

No I don't wanna play house
I know it can be fun
I've watched mummy and daddy
And if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house
It makes my mummy cry
'Cause when she played house
My daddy said goodbye

No I don't wanna play house
I know it can be fun
I've watched mummy and daddy
And if that's the way it's done
I don't wanna play house
It makes my mummy cry
'Cause when she played house
My daddy said goodbye
'Cause when she played house
My daddy said goodbye...

Expertise

I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.

Experience

I've been a country music fan for all of my 20+ years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!

Education/Credentials
Juris Doctor. (So if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have the research skills to figure it out!)
