Lyrics: Who's gonna soothe you when I'm gone Who's gonna soothe you when I'm gone Who will kindle the fire, wrap your sackcloth tight Oh boy, oh boy you sure is a lusty one Oh boy, oh boy you sure is your daddy's son Well you've got a pair of lungs for such a tiny one Sound of your voice wakes the morning sun And I tell you boy I ain't gonna run Ain't no big man boss gonna take my son Oh boy oh boy sure is a lusty one Oh boy oh boy sure is your daddy's son Now I hear about that underground rail They travel in the night and they ain't fail I'll take you to a land Where you can lift your head If they make my child a slave It's because your daddy's dead Oh boy oh boy oh boy |
