Lyrics:
the sweet by and by" (in the sweet, by and by)
Then we'd sing, "I'm on my way to Canaan's Land"
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man
Revivals
the sweet by and by" (in the sweet, by and by)
Then we'd sing, "I'm on my way to Canaan's Land"
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man
Revivals
on rubbin' at that thing
Notes: This was played by the Dead a
Dozen times in 1970 and 1971
And before that in 1964 by Mother McCree's
Uptown Jug Champions
poverty was real
We got excited just to window shop
I was you before you nigga
Back when Nintendo drop bare knuckle brawls
My daddy was beatin' niggas
Up
My daddy had a Lightnin Hopkins 78
Covered in scratches and it popped when it played
But I'd place the needle with a holy care
And Lightnin played me
breathed hell so hot that you could feel the heat
Daddy was an old time preacher man and Leona would get up to testify
And we'd sing in the sweet by and by
Preacher Casey, and they had a little drink
But they found that his family they was gone
He found that his family they was gone
He found his mother's
Preacher Casey, and they had a little drink,
But they found that his family they was gone,
He found that his family they was gone.
He found his mother's old
in it.
Ray Charles and Lightnin' Hopkins
And a guy like Jimmy Reed
Bo Diddley and Big Mabel
Be all I need!"
It was a dream, a dream I had last
that his family they were gone,
He found that his family they was gone.
He found his mother's old fashion shoe,
Found his daddy's hat.
And he
was gone, Tom Joad,
He found out his family they was gone.
He found his mother's old-fashioned shoes
He found his daddy's hat
He found little
Daddy, Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool
She was the meanest cat
In old Chicago town
She was the meanest cat
She really mowed them
Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool
She was the meanest cat
In old Chicago town
She was the meanest cat
She really mowed
cool
Daddy, daddy cool
Daddy, daddy cool
Daddy, daddy cool
She was the meanest cat
In old chicago town
She was the meanest cat
She really mowed
T-Bone Walker, Big Mama Thorton did the boogie!
They did the Lone Star boogie. Oooh, ahhh!
Albert Collins, Lightnin' Hopkins, too.
Gatemouth Brown, he
Jacky Don Tucker was my daddy's little brother
And at seventeen he jumped the fence
He joined a rock 'n' roll band, got a tattoo on his hand
the fool was sin free,
Ask Roseanne Barr or Oprah Winnphrey.
How it feels to be touched by the man who made you,
After so long, daddy didn't have to make
to swim
A farmer's son and a preacher's only daughter
We used to sneak off in my daddy's car
Sit on the hood and count the stars
'Til the sun came up
remember when
A flash of lightnin' drove us in
We were soaked down to the skin
By the time we climbed inside
And I don't remember what was poundin' more
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers
Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot, turn up the band
And she was blinded by the light
Oh, cut loose
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers
Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot, turn up the band
And she was blinded by the light
Oh, cut loose
I grew up in what I thought was domestic bliss
I had a daddy and a mama and a brother and a sis
Never knew nothing 'bout the Finer things
We
broken mommy's running wild
And when he is grown up and broken
Can't you hear the preacher say
My Daddy can fix anything
So don't throw that boy away
From
around like what the hell
I've been getting played this whole time and couldn't even tell
I asked the preacher what he though he laughed like it was funny
