Daddy Frank |
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the French harp |
Sister played the ringing tambourine |
Mama couldn’t hear our pretty music |
She read our lips and helped the family sing |
That little band was all a part of living |
And our only means of living at the time |
And it wasn’t like no normal family combo |
'Cause daddy Frank the guitar man was blind |
Frank and mama counted on each other |
Their one and only weakness made them strong |
Mama did the driving for the family |
And Frank made a living with a song |
Home was just a camp along the highway |
A pick-up bed was where we bedded down |
Don’t ever once remember going hungry |
But I remember mama cooking on the ground |
Don’t remember how they got acquainted |
I can’t recall just how it came to be There had to be some special help from someone |
And blessed be the one that let it be Fever caused my mama’s loss of hearing |
Daddy Frank was born without his sight |
And mama needed someone she could lean on And I believe the guitar man was right |
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the French harp |
Sister played the ringing tambourine |
Mama couldn’t hear our pretty music |
She read our lips and helped the family sing |
