Nina Simone - My Father / Dialog Lyrics

Lyrics My Father / Dialog - Nina Simone




Well, that, that trips me
My father always promised me
That we would live in France
(You know you don't believe that)
We'd go boating on the Seine
And I would learn to dance
We lived in Ohio then
And he worked in the mines
I don't wanna sing this song
It's not me
My father always promised me that we would be free
But he did not promise me that we would live in France (Ha-ha-ha)
And they had take him away again
How about Brooklyn?
God, no! My father knew nothing about New York, at all
He promised me that we would live in peace
And that, maybe, I can still get
Okay, we have to skip that one for later
