My old man
|
He's a singer in the park
|
He's a walker in the rain
|
He's a dancer in the dark
|
We don't need no piece of paper
|
From the city hall
|
Keeping us tied and true
|
My old man
|
Keeping away my blues
|
|
He's my sunshine in the morning
|
He's my fireworks at the end of the day
|
He's the warmest chord I ever heard
|
Play that warm chord, play and stay baby
|
We don't need no piece of paper
|
From the city hall
|
Keeping us tied and true
|
My old man
|
Keeping away my blues
|
|
But when he's gone
|
Me and them lonesome blues collide
|
The bed's too big
|
The frying pan's too wide
|
|
Then he comes home
|
And he takes me in his loving arms
|
And he tells me all his troubles
|
And he tells me all my charms
|
We don't need no piece of paper
|
From the city hall
|
Keeping us tied and true
|
No, my old man
|
Keeping away my blues
|
|
But when he's gone
|
Me and them lonesome blues collide
|
The bed's too big
|
The frying pan's too wide
|
|
My old man
|
He's a singer in the park
|
He's a walker in the rain
|
He's a dancer in the dark
|
We don't need no piece of paper
|
From the city hall
|
Keeping us tied and true
|
No, my old man
|
Keeping away my lonesome blues
|
