Daddy Frank (The Guitar Man)

In the style of

Merle Haggard

Lyrics

let me tell ya
'bout a song
that i feel
explains itself

it's called
daddy frank
the guitar man

daddy frank
played the guitar
and the french harp
sister played
the ringin' tambourine

and 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 livin'
and our only means
of livin' 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 'em strong

mama did the drivin'
for the family
and frank
made a livin'
with a song

home was
just a camp
along the highway
a pickup bed
was where
we bedded down

don't ever
once remember
goin' hungry
but i remember
mama cookin'
on the ground

daddy frank
played the guitar
and the french harp
sister played
the ringin' tambourine

mama couldn't hear
the pretty music
but she read our lips
and helped
the family sing

that little band
was all a part of livin'
and our only means
of livin' 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

but there had to be
some special help
from someone
and blessed
be the one
who let it be

fever caused
my mama's
loss of hearin'
and 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 ringin' tambourine

mama couldn't hear
the pretty music
she read our lips
and helped
the family sing

that little band
was all a part of livin'
and our only means
of livin' at the time

and it wasn't like
no normal
family combo
'cause daddy frank
the guitar man
was blind
