Title: Daddy Frank Artist: Bo Young Composer: Merle Haggard ======================
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp Sister played the ringing tambourine Mama couldn't hear our pretty music but she read our lips and helped the family sing
That little band was all a part of living and our only means of living at the time And it wasn't like no normal family combo cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind
Frank and mama counted on each other Their one and only weakness made them strong and Mama did the driving for the family, and Frank made a living with a song
Home was just a camp along the highway A pickup bed was where we bedded down and I don't ever once remember going hungry I remember Mama cooking on the ground
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp Sister played the ringing tambourine Mama couldn't hear our pretty music but she read our lips and helped the family sing
But that little band was all a part of living and our only means of living at the time And it wasn't like no normal family combo cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind
Don't remember how they got acquainted I can't recall just how it came to be There had to be some special help from someone And blessed be the one that let it be
Fever caused my Mama's loss of hearing Daddy Frank was born without his sight And mama needed someone she could lean on And I believe the guitar man was right
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp Sister played the ringing tambourine Mama couldn't hear our pretty music but she read our lips and helped the family sing
But that little band was all a part of living and our only means of living at the time And it wasn't like no normal family combo cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind
