《Papa Was A Good Man(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Papa Was A Good Man- Charlie Rich

[00:00:06] It rained all the way to Cincinnati

[00:00:11] With our mattress on top of the car

[00:00:17] Us kids were eatin' crackers and baloney

[00:00:23] And papa kept on drivin' never stopped once at a bar

[00:00:30] Then mama started talkin' about Jesus

[00:00:36] And how our lives could be from now on

[00:00:42] While papa bought a used tire in Columbus

[00:00:48] Mama rocked the baby till all his tears were gone

[00:00:56] She said your papa is a good man and don't you kids forget it

[00:01:03] The whiskey's tryin' to ruin him but I know the Lord won't let it

[00:01:12] Then we sang Amazing Grace and Bringing In The Sheaves

[00:01:17] Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me

[00:01:30] I guess we should have known papa never could quit drinking

[00:01:34] The whiskey had too much hold on him nut he loved us and he did the best he could

[00:01:42] And everytime the world would fall all around us

[00:01:46] Mama packed everything we owned into some old car and started out for some new town

[00:01:52] She said your papa is a good man and don't you kids forget it

[00:01:59] The whiskey's tryin' to ruin him but I know the Lord won't let it

[00:02:07] Then we sang Amazing Grace and Bringing In The Sheaves

[00:02:12] Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me
