[SARAH]<br>

Ooh...<br>

<br>

Daddy played piano,<br>

Played it very well.<br>

Music from those hands could<br>

Catch you like a spell.<br>

He coul dmake you love him<br>

'Fore the tune was done.<br>

You have your daddy's hands.<br>

You are your daddy's son.<br>

<br>

Ooh...<br>

<br>

Daddy never knew<br>

That you were on your way.<br>

<br>

He had other ladies<br>

And other tunes to play.<br>

When he up and left me,<br>

I just up and run.<br>

<br>

Only thing in my head-<br>

You were your daddy's son.<br>

<br>

Couldn't hear no music,<br>

Couldn't see no light.<br>

Mama, she was frightened,<br>

Crazy from the fright.<br>

Tears without no comfort,<br>

Screams without no sound.<br>

Only darkness and pain,<br>

The anger and pain,<br>

The blood and the pain!<br>

I buried my hear in the ground!<br>

In the ground-<br>

When I buried you in the ground.<br>

<br>

Daddy played piano.<br>

Bet he's playin' still.<br>

Mama can't forget him.<br>

Don't suppose I will.<br>

God wants no excuses.<br>

I have only one:<br>

You had your daddy's hands.<br>

Forgive me.<br>

You were your daddy's son.<br>

<br>
