Some of you will be wondering why Jim Reeves hasn't yet appeared in this series. Others of you won't be. Today the division between you, at least on that score, comes to an end. Here he is with 'That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine':
In a vine-covered shack in the mountains
Bravely fighting the battle of Time
There's a dear one who's weathered life's sorrow
It's that silver haired Daddy of mineChorus
If I could recall all the heartaches,
Dear old Daddy, I've caused you to bear
If I could erase those lines from your face
And bring back the gold to your hair
If God would but grant me the power
Just to turn back the pages of Time
I'd give all I own if I could but atone
To that silver haired Daddy of mine.I know it's too late, dear old Daddy,
To repay for the heartaches and care
But dear Mother is waiting in Heaven
Just to comfort and solace you thereRepeat Chorus
Before Jim Reeves sang it, Gene Autry did. And here are Johnny and Tommy Cash singing it. Everyone has a daddy, and all old daddies seem to have silver hair.
