Daughter Daughter by The Paris Sisters Lyrics

Tell me where were you tonight
Oh, daughter, daughter
While the moon was shining bright
Oh, daughter, daughter

Were you walking all alone
Down by the water?
Tell me daughter, daughter
All I ought to know

Well, I'll tell you all I can
Oh, mother, mother
I was walking with a man
Oh, mother, mother

But when he tried holding me
I said "Oh, brother
Please, my mother, mother
Told me to say no"

But every time he held my hand
I had a feeling that was grand
And so I hope you understand
What happened then
Oh, he pleaded tenderly
Until we tarried
Then he shyly gave to me
The ring he carried

Mother, mother
Can't you see that we were married?
Now, you know
Where daughter, daughter was tonight

But every time he held my hand
I had a feeling that was grand
And so I hope you understand
What happened then

Oh, he pleaded tenderly
Until we tarried
Then he shyly gave to me
The ring he carried

Mother, mother
Can't you see that we were married?
Now, you know
Where daughter, daughter was tonight
