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 |
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 |
You’re the son of your father |
So treat me as your own |
You’re the son of your father |
So treat me as your own |
