My daughter O my daughter I am a man in pain I am plagued by flies that rot the apple of my eye Spread their maggots and lay their eggs O my daughter My daughter I am a man deceived For this God-forsaken city Has stolen my daughter from me Surely she's been had By some sort of surly witchcraft Just as this city Long ago bewitched me But soon they'll start a-marchin' That ragtag band of refugees And then it's Lord of the Flies 'round each corner A more troubling scene O my daughter My daughter Are you in love with a wound? Or is it the rose-colored glasses the wounding implores For I worry Like in a painting You've romanticized the lore Of a delicate elbow Nursin' on the needle of a whore And after you've fed the hungry Clothed then naked Saved the poor Do each of your benefactors Join in your rat race, forevermore And if the wolves offer companionship Will you count on success? Are you sure they'll stand beside you When you're facing your own death O my daughter My daughter I am a man in pain I am plagued by flies that rot the apple of my eye Spread their maggots and lay their eggs Though your honor Toward my daughter Is robust enough to see She's deceived her father And someday just may thee She's deceived her father And someday just may thee She's deceived her father And just may betray thee
