Your Daddy's Son Lyrics

[00:02.49] Ooh...
[00:36.50] Daddy played piano,
[00:40.09] Played it very well.
[00:43.08] Music from those hands could
[00:46.68] Catch you like a spell.
[00:50.06] He could make you love him
[00:52.78] 'Fore the tune was done.
[00:56.59] You have your daddy's hands.
[01:03.64] You are your daddy's son.
[01:14.29] Ooh...
[01:20.62] Daddy never knew
[01:22.65] That you were on your way.
[01:26.11] He had other ladies
[01:28.81] And other tunes to play.
[01:31.51] When he up and left me,
[01:34.21] I just up and run.
[01:37.12] Only thing in my head-
[01:42.32] You were your daddy's son.
[01:53.79] Couldn't hear no music,
[01:56.50] Couldn't see no light.
[02:01.92] Mama, she was frightened,
[02:03.73] Crazy from the fright.
[02:08.20] Tears without no comfort,
[02:10.10] Screams without no sound.
[02:13.46] Only darkness and pain,
[02:16.39] The anger and pain,
[02:18.21] The blood and the pain!
[02:20.92] I buried my heart in the ground!
[02:25.62] In the ground-
[02:29.95] When I buried you in the ground.
[02:48.36] Daddy played piano.
[02:51.76] Bet he's playing still.
[02:55.36] Mama can't forget him.
[02:58.75] Don't suppose I will.
[03:02.61] God wants no excuses.
[03:06.20] I have only one:
[03:11.62] You had your daddy's hands.
[03:17.12] Forgive me.
[03:20.69] You were your daddy's son.
[03:32.19]
