Papa Was A Good Man- Charlie Rich[00:00:00]
It rained all the way to Cincinnati[00:00:06]
With our mattress on top of the car[00:00:11]
Us kids were eatin' crackers and baloney[00:00:17]
And papa kept on drivin' never stopped once at a bar [00:00:23]
Then mama started talkin' about Jesus[00:00:30]
And how our lives could be from now on[00:00:36]
While papa bought a used tire in Columbus[00:00:42]
Mama rocked the baby till all his tears were gone [00:00:48]
She said your papa is a good man and don't you kids forget it[00:00:56]
The whiskey's tryin' to ruin him but I know the Lord won't let it[00:01:03]
Then we sang Amazing Grace and Bringing In The Sheaves[00:01:12]
Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me [00:01:17]
I guess we should have known papa never could quit drinking[00:01:30]
The whiskey had too much hold on him nut he loved us and he did the best he could[00:01:34]
And everytime the world would fall all around us[00:01:42]
Mama packed everything we owned into some old car and started out for some new town [00:01:46]
She said your papa is a good man and don't you kids forget it[00:01:52]
The whiskey's tryin' to ruin him but I know the Lord won't let it[00:01:59]
Then we sang Amazing Grace and Bringing In The Sheaves[00:02:07]
Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me[00:02:12]
