Ferlin Husky - I Dug My Daddy's Grave songtekst

Je score:


(There's anything shared at our house tonight since God called my daddy away)

Tonight my heart is heavy there's not a tear left in my eyes

You see my dad just passed away and I've told him so many lies

There were fifteen of us in our family and not a dime did we see

So all alone there in the graveyard I had to dig my daddy's grave

As I dug my conscience hurt me and as I rise my shovel high

It seemed my entire life was quickly flashing by

I thought of how he'd beat me and I tried to make him mad

And I knew every lickin' he gave me hurt him twice as bad

I thought of how he'd leave us when our lunch was an empty sack

But I knew dad worked hard and for us kids he'd break his back

Then I thought of how we'd hurt him why I'd take his core anytime

Maybe I'd have a wreck and land in jail he'd be there to bail me out everytime

I'd stand up in the space and curse him then I'd I leave so I wouldn't see him cry

Then he'd fall on his knees and say dear God give my son another try

After the funeral was over and the coffin was laid in its place

They handed me the shovel and asked me to throw more dirt in his face

I wish I showed him how much I love him I could have had a try

But I do have one consolation he knew God before he died
