Your Daddy's Son Lyrics - Singles - Musical Cast Recording

Daddy played piano 

Played it very well 

Music from those hands could 

Catch you like a spell 

He could make you love him 

'Fore the tune was done 

You have your daddy's hands 

You are your daddy's son 

Daddy never knew that 

You were on your way 

He had other ladies 

And other tunes to play 

When he up and left me 

I just up and run 

Only thing in my head 

You were your daddy's son 

Couldn't hear no music 

Couldn't see no light 

Mama, she was frightened 

Crazy from the fright 

Tears without no comfort 

Screams without no sound 

Only darkness and pain 

The anger and pain 

The blood and the pain 

I buried my heart in the ground 

In the ground 

When I buried you in the ground 

Daddy played piano 

Bet he's playin' still 

Mama can't forget him 

Don't suppose I will 

God wants no excuses 

I have only one 

You had your daddy's hands 

Forgive me, you were your daddy's son
