Unions - Prodigal lyrics

What's to be done with a prodigal son? Welcome him home with open arms Throw a big party, invite your friends Our boy's come back home When a girl goes home with the oats he's sown It's draw your shades and your shutters She's bringing such shame to the family name The return of the prodigal daughter Singing, Oh Cotton-eyed Joe Went to see the doctor and I almost died When he told my mama, Lordy how she cried Me and my daddy were never too close But he was there when I needed him most Look here comes a prodigal son Fetch him a tall drink of water But there's none in the cup because he drank it all up Left for the prodigal daughter Singing, Oh Cotton-eyed Joe
