Papa Was A Good Man
Ton : CEnglish
ICt rained all the way to CincinG7nati
With our mattress on top of the cCar
Us kids were eatin' crackers and balG7oney
And papa kept on drivin' never stopped once at a bCar
And then mama started talkin' about JG7esus
And how our lives could be from now oCn
While papa bought a used tire in ColG7umbus
Mama rocked the baby till all her tears were gCone C7
She said your pFapa is a good man and dCon't you kids forget it
The wFhiskey's tryin' to ruin him but I kD7now the Lord won't lG7et it
TFhen we sang Amazing Grace and BCringing In The SAmheaves
Rock of ACges RFock of ACges cG7left for mCe F C G7 C
I remember when PG7apa finally gave up drinking
I think Mama was the only one on earth that really taught she could
IC remember a lot of times we?ve pack everything we owned
Into some old car and we?d start out for sG7ome new town
And trough it all Mama?s faith was the one thing
Was strong enough to finally do some gCood C7
She said your pFapa is a good man and dCon't you kids forget it
The wFhiskey's tryin' to ruin him but I kD7now the Lord won't lG7et it
TFhen we sang Amazing Grace and BCringing In The SAmheaves
