Daddy Frank (the Guitar Man)

(Merle Haggard)

Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp
Sister played the ringing tambourine
Mama couldn't hear our pretty music
She read our lips and helped the family sing.

That little band was all a part of living
And our only means of living 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 them strong
Mama did the driving for the family
And Frank made a living with a song.

Home was just a camp along the highway
A pick-up bed was where we bedded down
Don't ever once remember going hungry
But I remember mama cooking on the ground.

Don't remember how they got acquainted
I can't recall just how it came to be
There had to be some special help from someone
And blessed be the one that let it be.

Fever caused my mama's loss of hearing
Daddy Frank was born without his sight
And mama needed someone she could lean on
And I believe the guitar man was right.

Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp
Sister played the ringing tambourine
Mama couldn't hear our pretty music
She read our lips and helped the family sing...

Mirror lyrics:

She read our lips and helped the family sing...
Mama couldn't hear our pretty music
Sister played the ringing tambourine
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp

And I believe the guitar man was right.
And mama needed someone she could lean on
Daddy Frank was born without his sight
Fever caused my mama's loss of hearing

And blessed be the one that let it be.
There had to be some special help from someone
I can't recall just how it came to be
Don't remember how they got acquainted

But I remember mama cooking on the ground.
Don't ever once remember going hungry
A pick-up bed was where we bedded down
Home was just a camp along the highway

And Frank made a living with a song.
Mama did the driving for the family
Their one and only weakness made them strong
Frank and mama counted on each other

Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind.
And it wasn't like no normal family combo
And our only means of living at the time
That little band was all a part of living

She read our lips and helped the family sing.
Mama couldn't hear our pretty music
Sister played the ringing tambourine
Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp
