Elizabethtown movie - My Fathers Gun lyrics
rate meSong by Elton John<br /><br>
From this day on I own my father's gun<br>
We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun<br>
I laid his broken body down below the southern land<br>
It wouldn't do to bury him where any Yankee stands<br>
<br>
I'll take my horse and I'll ride the northern plain<br>
To wear the color of the greys and join the fight again<br>
I'll not rest until I know the cause is fought and won<br>
From this day on until I die I'll wear my father's gun<br>
<br>
I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight<br>
To New Orleans well that's just fine alright<br>
`Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men<br>
So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend<br>
<br>
As soon as this is over we'll go home<br>
To plant the seeds of justice in our bones<br>
To watch the children growing and see the women sewing<br>
There'll be laughter when the bells of freedom ring<br>
<br>
