Daddy Was a Sailor 가사

Grandpa was a minor And he gave me my black heart Bitter rivers of black coal dust Tore our country apart Covered in coal dust Waking up too early in the morning Covered in coal dust Waiting for the moment the canary sings Mama was a mermaid And a Carnaby Street gal She could have been a model But she spent her life mopping up spilt milk Covered in sea salt Would he, could he, be home when the stars came out to party Covered in sea salt Yeah I know it was my fault That he always ran away because he didn't want me Oh, daddy was a sailor And he gave me a black heart Oh, daddy was a sailor The only man that could tear me apart Daddy, daddy, daddy Sister dances salsa And she chants just like a queen I was a non-believer when she told me I was free Auntie Emy was a medium And she worked the Ouija board Seeking out the lost souls And taking men back to the Lord Oh but daddy still was a sailor And he gave me a black heart Oh, daddy was a sailor The only man that could tear me apart Daddy, daddy, daddy
