Текст песни Mama's Troubadour - John Edmond

Daddy was a music man all he had was a pickup van
A battered longneck banjo and me
I never ever knew my mom they say she died when I was born
But daddy told me how she used to be
In his day he was a handsome guy and all the women used to sigh
And smile at him when he was on the show
I thought the writings from his pen were for each and ever one of them
But they were all for mama now I know
And he could smile with happy banjo ringing
But bitter sweet were the words that he was singing
Though the ladies they would shout for more
He was always Mama's troubadour
One day passing through a town showed me the house where I was born
And the church were he and mama used to pray
The tears came streaming down his face
I said daddy that ain't no disgrace
Everybody's gotta cry someday
Its been a year since daddy's gone and his last words to me was son
Somehow you know I', not afraid to die
Now the banjo's in its case and daddy at the meeting place
In the arms of mama somewhere in the sky
And he could smile with happy banjo ringing
But bitter sweet were the words that he was singing
Though the ladies they would shout for more
He was always Mama's troubadour
Though the ladies they would shout for more
He was always Mama's troubadour
