| And get in your place on your old daddy's knee | A |

| And I need you I need you to scatter away | C |
| All the cares and the griefs of a troublesome day | C |

| Till the light of joy burns once again in my eyes | D |

| Let's romp on the floor and make merry tonight | F |
| For you little girl can put everything right | F |

| Come little lassie climb onto my knee | A |

| I was cross I was mean through the heat of the day | C |
| I gave up to despair as my plans went astray | C |
| But it's all over now and I want to forget | I |
| The troubles that caused me to worry and fret | I |
| And you are my sunshine my source of delight | F |
| So come to your dad and make everything right | F |
