《Daddy Was a God Fearin’ Man》歌词

[00:00:00] Daddy Was a God Fearin' Man - David Allan Coe

[00:00:06] Used to go with my grandpa up to the town square

[00:00:11] Set him down up there on a picnic

[00:00:12] Bench and he used to play checkers

[00:00:14] With them other old men up there

[00:00:18] They used to tell stories bout when

[00:00:19] They were kids Grandpa says he shot

[00:00:26] The chief of police when he was nine years old

[00:00:35] N' i believe him cause they tell me that hazard

[00:00:40] Kentucky's the baldest place in the world

[00:00:45] Why they say they used to sit out there

[00:00:47] On there front porch shoot then revenuers when

[00:00:51] They'd come down the hollow

[00:00:55] Said they was so young took two o' them

[00:00:58] Boys to hold the rifle and one to pull the trigger

[00:01:01] Hymn Well grandpa he'd lie a little bit

[00:01:10] But i'll tell you there's a lot of

[00:01:14] Stories in harlan county

[00:01:19] Yea folks in harlan county lord

[00:01:22] They knew that we were poor

[00:01:25] They always called my daddy preacher dan

[00:01:29] But daddy weren't no preacher

[00:01:31] Least ways i don't recollect

[00:01:34] Never hear of poppa talk of nothing' but the land

[00:01:39] And daddy was a god fearing' farmer yes he was

[00:01:44] Could not read nor write lord

[00:01:46] He could barley spell his name

[00:01:48] Daddy was a god fearing' farmer all his life

[00:01:53] Someday when im grown ill be the same

[00:01:58] Well he always grew tobacco

[00:01:59] Though he did not smoke himself

[00:02:02] He had the best tobacco crop around

[00:02:07] And he never touched a drop

[00:02:09] Of liquor that i can recall

[00:02:12] Papa made his living' on the ground

[00:02:16] Yes sunday-go-to-meeting' called

[00:02:19] For more than he could stand

[00:02:21] I guess he felt at home in his old clothes

[00:02:26] But he never missed a sunday

[00:02:28] Taking momma to the church

[00:02:30] Maybe it was habit lords but heaven only knows

[00:02:35] And daddy was a god fearing' farmer yes he was

[00:02:40] Could not read nor write lord

[00:02:42] He could barley spell his name

[00:02:44] Daddy was a god fearing' farmer all his life

[00:02:49] Someday when i'm grown ill be the same

[00:03:13] Yea folks in harlan county lord

[00:03:15] They knew that we were poor

[00:03:17] They always called my daddy preacher dan

[00:03:22] But daddy weren't no preacher

[00:03:24] Least ways i don't recollect

[00:03:27] Never hear of grandpa talk of nothing' but the land

[00:03:32] Daddy was a god fearing' farmer all his life

[00:03:36] He could not read nor write lord

[00:03:38] He could barley spell his name

[00:03:41] Daddy was a god fearing' farmer yes he was

[00:03:45] Someday when i'm grown ill be the same
