For Little Jessie (She Knows Her Daddy Sings)    Jerry Jeff Walker

(G)Sometimes (Em)out here (Am7)on the road,
(D) Too late to (D7)call, I see a (G)telephone.
My mind's a (Em)line running (Am7)straight for home,
(D) I think I (D7)see her, sleeping (G)soft and warm.

And she know(Em)s her (Am7)daddy sings,
(D) We know (D7)all that the (G)money brings.
She thinks our (Em)world is (Am7)ev'rything,
(D) But does she (D7)know she's the (G)precious thing?

I now we've (Em)had our (Am7)ups and downs,
(D) Drove our (D7)love nearly (G)out of bounds.
Can't go (Em)back to a (Am7)lot of towns,
(D) We were (D7)doing what was (G)going 'round.

And she know(Em)s her (Am7)daddy sings,
(D) We know (D7)all that the (G)money brings.
She thinks our (Em)world is (Am7)ev'rything,
(D) But does she (D7)know she's the (G)precious thing?
 - Instrumental verse - 

Well, two a(Em)dults in a (Am7)world alone,
(D) We'll take a little (D7)love, make a (G)little home.
The little (Em)hands touch your (Am7)wavy hair,
(D) Then wave good(D7)bye and leave us (G)standing there.

And she know(Em)s her (Am7)daddy sings,
(D) We know (D7)all that the (G)money brings.
She thinks our (Em)world is (Am7)ev'rything,
(D) But does she (D7)know she's the (G)precious thing?

She know(Em)s her (Am7)daddy sings,
(D) We know (D7)all that the (G)money brings.
She thinks our (Em)world is (Am7)ev'rything,
(D) But does she (D7)know she's the (G)precious thing?
 - Instrumental verse -
