Lyrics Daddy Frank (The Guitar Man) - 2001 Digital Remaster - Merle Haggard , The Strangers

Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp
And 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 a long the highway
A pick-up bed was where we bedded down
Don't ever once remember goin' hungry
And I remember mama cookin' on the ground
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp
And 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
