Lyrics for Son Of Your Father Elton John Bernie Taupin by Elton John:
| | | Artist: | Elton John |
| | Album: | Tumbleweed Connection | | Track: | Son Of Your Father Elton John Bernie Taupin | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 76 | | | | Lyrics: | I'll catch the tramline in the morning
With your leave Van Bushell said
He had further
heard the cock crow
As he stumbled out the shed
Then blind Joseph came towards
him
With a shotgun in his arms
He said you'll pay me twenty dollars
Before you leave
my farm
Van Bushell saw the hook
Which replaced Joseph's hand
He said now calm
you down my brother
Let's discuss this man to man
It's no good you getting
angry
We must try to act our age
You're pursuing your convictions
Like some hermit in
a cage
You're the son of your father
Try a little bit harder
Do for me as he
would do for you
With blood and water bricks and mortar
He built for you a
home
You're the son of your father
So treat me as your own
Well slowly Joseph
well he lowered the rifle
And he emptied out the shells
Van Bushell he came towards
him
He shook his arm and wished him well
He said now hey blind man that is
fine
But I sure can't waste my time
So move aside and let me go my way
I've got a
train to ride
Well Joseph turned around
His grin was now a frown
He said let me
just refresh your mind
Your manners boy seem hard to find
Well there's two men lying
dead as nails
On an East Virginia farm
For charity's an argument
That only leads to
harm
So be careful when they're kind to you
Don't you end up in the dirt
Just
remember what I'm saying to you
And you likely won't get hurt
