David Alan Coe - Daddy Was A God Fearin` Man слова песни




By David Allan CoeSPOKENUSED TO GO WITH MY GRANDPA UP TO THE TOWN SQUARE, SET HIM DOWN UP THERE ON A PICNIC BENCH AND HE USED TO PLAY CHECKERS WITH THEM OTHER OLD MEN UP THERE. THEY USED TO TELL STORIES BOUT WHEN THEY WERE KIDS. GRANDPA SAYS HE SHOT THE CHIEF OF POLICE WHEN HE WAS NINE YEARS OLD. N` I BELIEVE HIM, CAUSE THEY TELL ME THAT HAZARD, KENTUCKY`S THE BALDEST PLACE IN THE WORLD. WHY, THEY SAY THEY USED TO SIT OUT THERE ON THERE FRONT PORCH, SHOOT THEN REVENUERS WHEN THEY`D COME DOWN THE HOLLOW. SAID THEY WAS SO YOUNG, TOOK TWO O` THEM BOYS TO HOLD THE RIFLE AND ONE TO PULL THE TRIGGER, HYMN! WELL, GRANDPA , HE`D LIE A LITTLE BIT, BUT I`LL TELL YOU, THERE`S A LOT OF STORIES IN HARLAN COUNTY. YEA, FOLKS IN HARLAN COUNTY, LORD, THEY KNEW THAT WE WERE POORTHEY ALWAYS CALLED MY DADDY PREACHER DANBUT DADDY WEREN`T NO PREACHER, LEAST WAYS I DON`T RECOLLECTNEVER HEAR OF POPPA TALK OF NOTHING` BUT THE LAND AND DADDY WAS A GOD FEARING` FARMER YES HE WASCOULD NOT READ NOR WRITE, LORD, HE COULD BARLEY SPELL HIS NAMEDADDY WAS A GOD FEARING` FARMER ALL HIS LIFESOMEDAY WHEN IM GROWN ILL BE THE SAME. WELL HE ALWAYS GREW TOBACCO THOUGH HE DID NOT SMOKE HIMSELFHE HAD THE BEST TOBACCO CROP AROUNDAND HE NEVER TOUCHED A DROP OF LIQUOR THAT I CAN RECALLPAPA MADE HIS LIVING` ON THE GROUND. YES SUNDAY-GO-TO-MEETING` CALLED FOR MORE THAN HE COULD STANDI GUESS HE FELT AT HOME IN HIS OLD CLOTHESBUT HE NEVER MISSED A SUNDAY TAKING MOMMA TO THE CHURCHMAYBE IT WAS HABIT, LORDS, BUT HEAVEN ONLY KNOWSYEA, FOLKS IN HARLAN COUNTY, LORD, THEY KNEW THAT WE WERE POORTHEY ALWAYS CALLED MY DADDY PREACHER DANBUT DADDY WEREN`T NO PREACHER, LEAST WAYS I DON`T RECOLLECTNEVER HEAR OF GRANDPA TALK OF NOTHING` BUT THE LAND
