Father's Song 가사

My son this news is quite a shock I’m told you’ve done a runner I suppose it’s all the same to you If your family goes under Oh father dearest father Vienna called to me And all in all I’d rather Be here than in the bishopry Oh father … So now you do betray me The father that you love Well may you be forgiven By a God above So you left your job in Salzburg Not content to run a choir Not content with an honest buck To see your heart’s desire Oh father dearest father Now I play to the Kaiser And since I’ve moved to the capital I’m wealthy and I’m wiser Oh father father … So you do betray me The father that you love Well may you be forgiven By a God above And if that was not enough To cause your father’s heart to break Well now I hear you’ve set up house With that nest of Weber snakes Oh father dearest father How my loins do yearn And St.Paul tells us it’s better That we marry than we burn So father … So now you do betray me The father that you love Well may you be forgiven By a God above Oh father Amen
