Don't You Miss Lyrics

When I was a boy, just eleven year old

I lived on a farm with my daddy named Crow

And although he never went to school

My daddy had but two simple rules

He'd say boy, don't you worry, and don't you miss

He taught me to pray and tie the strings on my boot

He bought my first gun and he taught me to shoot

He took me on down to the river bed

And I'll never forget what he said

He said boy, don't you worry and don't you miss

One day my daddy was out at the mill

He brought me along, and it was all goin' well

Until my daddy he slipped on some straw

And his leg got caught in the saw

Well I cried out to my daddy Crow but here's what he said

I'm sorry that I've got to go away

I promise I'll see you again someday

But boy won't you learn from my mistakes and don't you miss

I'm sorry that I've got to go away

I promise I'll see you again someday

But boy won't you learn from my mistakes and don't you miss

It's time for me to fly away

I promise I'll see you again someday

But boy won't you learn from my mistakes and don't you miss

Boy won't you learn from my mistakes and don't you miss

Boy won't you learn from my mistakes and don't you miss

I had me a boy, and I named him Red

And one day my daddy Crow came out from the shed

He bought my son Red his first gun

He said come on Red let's go have some fun

And boy, don't you worry and don't you miss

And boy, don't you worry and don't you miss

And boy, don't you worry and don't you miss
