My old man Hes a singer in the park Hes a walker in the rain Hes a dancer in the dark We dont need no piece of paper From the city hall Keeping us tied and true My old man Keeping away my blues
Hes my sunshine in the morning Hes my fireworks at the end of the day Hes the warmest chord I ever heard Play that warm chord, play and stay baby We dont need no piece of paper From the city hall Keeping us tied and true My old man Keeping away my blues
But when hes gone Me and them lonesome blues collide The beds too big The frying pans too wide
Then he comes home And he takes me in his loving arms And he tells me all his troubles And he tells me all my charms We dont need no piece of paper From the city hall Keeping us tied and true No, my old man Keeping away my blues
But when hes gone Me and them lonesome blues collide The beds too big The frying pans too wide
My old man Hes a singer in the park Hes a walker in the rain Hes a dancer in the dark We dont need no piece of paper From the city hall Keeping us tied and true No, my old man Keeping away my lonesome blues
