This song could be about anyones little  girl. In this instance, though, it was just a figment of my fertile imagination. Here is a link to the song being sung, for your entertainment. Enjoy.

Chorus:

Won't you tell me where I'm going, Daddy,-
I don't want to go back to the places I have been.
I know that if you'll tell me where the road leads, Daddy,
Then I won't ever have to walk that lonesome road again.

Verse:
When she was a little girl, she sat on Daddy's knee;
He brushed the hair back from her cheek and kissed her tenderly.
With rough and calloused hands, her Daddy smoothed out every curl
And he said, "Sweetheart, you're Daddy's biggest girl."

Her Dad was always there with her each time she scraped a knee.
He'd say, "I'll always be close by whenever you need me."
He'd smooth her hair and dry her tears and say, "You're all my world,
And, sweetheart, you'll always be your daddies girl."

Recitation:

But little girls grow up and soon she left her loving nest,
And she fell in with a drunken crowd,-she forgot who loved her the best.
All her nights were drunken parties and, in her life, she knew no shame,
And for a while, she even forgot her Daddy's name.

Sing:
Then one day she woke up crying and she couldn't stop the tears,
And she knew that she'd been living in a lie for all those years.

Recite:
Then a message came,-'Your Dad is sick and he's dying, all alone!'
She said, "Please wait for me, Daddy, 'cause your baby's coming home."

Sing:
Then she walked up to his bedside and she took his wrinkled hand,
And her tears came down in torrents when she saw the dying man.

Recite:
For the last time his eyes opened and he softly touched a curl
And he said, "Sweetheart, you're still Daddys biggest girl."

Chorus:
Won't you tell me where I'm going, Daddy;
I don't want to go back to the places I have been.
I know that if you'll tell me where the road leads, Daddy,
Then I won't ever have to walk that lonesome road again.
