Son Of Your Father |
| I’ll catch the tramline in the morning |
| With your leave Van Bushell said |
| He had further heard the cock crow |
| As he stumbled out the shed |
| Then blind Joseph came towards him |
| With a shotgun in his arms |
| He said you’ll pay me twenty dollars |
| Before you leave my farm |
| Van Bushell saw the hook |
| Which replaced Joseph’s hand |
| He said now calm you down my brother |
| Let’s discuss this man to man |
| It’s no good you getting angry |
| We must try to act our age |
| You’re pursuing your convictions |
| Like some hermit in a cage |
| You’re the son of your father |
| Try a little bit harder |
| Do for me as he would do for you |
| With blood and water bricks and mortar |
| He built for you a home |
| You’re the son of your father |
| So treat me as your own |
| Well slowly Joseph well he lowered the rifle |
| And he emptied out the shells |
| Van Bushell he came towards him |
| He shook his arm and wished him well |
| He said now hey blind man that is fine |
| But I sure can’t waste my time |
| So move aside and let me go my way |
| I’ve got a train to ride |
| Well Joseph turned around |
| His grin was now a frown |
| He said let me just refresh your mind |
| Your manners boy seem hard to find |
| Well there’s two men lying dead as nails |
| On an East Virginia farm |
| For charity’s an argument |
| That only leads to harm |
| So be careful when they’re kind to you |
| Don’t you end up in the dirt |
| Just remember what I’m saying to you |
| And you likely won’t get hurt |
