Lyrics Your Daddy's Son - Audra McDonald
Ooh...
Daddy
played
piano,
Played
it
very
well.
Music
from
those
hands
could
Catch
you
like
a
spell.
He
could
make
you
love
him
'Fore
the
tune
was
done.
You
have
your
daddy's
hands.
You
are
your
daddy's
son.
Ooh...
Daddy
never
knew
That
you
were
on
your
way.
He
had
other
ladies
And
other
tunes
to
play.
When
he
up
and
left
me,
I
just
up
and
run.
Only
thing
in
my
head-
You
were
your
daddy's
son.
Couldn't
hear
no
music,
Couldn't
see
no
light.
Mama,
she
was
frightened,
Crazy
from
the
fright.
Tears
without
no
comfort,
Screams
without
no
sound.
Only
darkness
and
pain,
The
anger
and
pain,
The
blood
and
the
pain!
I
buried
my
heart
in
the
ground!
In
the
ground-
When
I
buried
you
in
the
ground.
Daddy
played
piano.
Bet
he's
playing
still.
Mama
can't
forget
him.
Don't
suppose
I
will.
God
wants
no
excuses.
I
have
only
one:
You
had
your
daddy's
hands.
Forgive
me.
You
were
your
daddy's
son.
