Your Daddy's Son (Ragtime) |
| Daddy played piano, |
| Played it very well. |
| Music from those hands could |
| Catch you like a spell. |
| He could make you love him |
| 'Fore the tune was done. |
| You have your daddy’s hands. |
| You are your daddy’s son. |
| Daddy never knew |
| That you were on your way. |
| He had other ladies |
| And other tunes to play. |
| When he up and left me I just up and ran. |
| Only thing in my head-- |
| You were your daddy’s son. |
| Couldn’t hear no music, |
| Couldn’t see no light. |
| Mamma, she was frightened, |
| Crazy from the fright. |
| Tears without no comfort, |
| Screams without no sound. |
| Only darkness and pain, |
| The anger and pain, |
| The blood and the pain! |
| I buried my heart in the ground! |
| In the ground. |
| When I buried you |
| In the ground… |
| Daddy played piano. |
| Bet he’s playing still. |
| Mama can’t forget him. |
| Don’t suppose I will. |
| God wants no excuses. |
| I have only one. |
| You had your daddy’s hands. |
| Forgive me. |
| You were your daddy’s son. |
