lyrics

o my daughter my daughter will you be
beautiful just like your mother
will you be proud
will you be proud to call me father
o my girl my girl
don't you be hardened by this world
remember every oyster's tear becomes a pearl

o my son my son will you find your daddy's gun
will you use it on yourself and everyone
o my boy that thing is not a toy
is only good to destroy everything

o my child my child you will be restless and wild and free
just like your mother and me
fill these shoes that i've worn spill your blood upon a thorn
though this was written years before you were born
i know that it's true
though i've grown i've grown to see
this plan is not my own or for me to see
though all the while i've known what will be will be

o my wife take my life for all it's worth we'll give birth to joy
these crooked paths we've come
i know they must lead us to some warm brighter day
it is not so far away
