My Father's Son
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My father's son I am
A criminal by trade
And what I have inherited
Just some old jewel thief bags
And the key to the backdoor of everyplace
Woman ever walked
Woman ever laid
I've seen the sun and I have seen the gallows
Seen the moon turn pale underneath the shadows
Her kiss, though
I may have tried
Honey, I'm not gonna make it out of this one, this time
Just like a man, I was fit to roll
I roll right through her door
I drank her mother's wine
Against my doctor's orders
Took my shoes right off at her bedroom door
But a woman be so fine
A woman be so pure
I've seen the sun and I have seen the gallows
Seen the moon turn pale underneath the shadows
Her kiss, though
I may have tried
Honey, I'm not gonna make it out of this one, this time
She puts it simple to me, lays my by her side
She wipes my face just like a cloth
But don't feel bad for me, if you lose
Cause for you time would be all but lost
Her kiss, oh
I may have tried
Her kiss, though
I may have tried
Her kiss, though
I may have tried
Honey, I'm not gonna make it out of this one, this time
