United Steel Workers Of Montreal Son, Your Daddy Was Bad lyrics

Well my mama died when my daddy was killed
shot in the back by the man
so I got a gun and to town I run
Lookin for the man with a badge

He said son your daddy was bad
never knew what he had
so I shot him down with six silver tip rounds
the bastard's six feet underground

see your mama was a woman with an iron clad will
daddy beat her till she bled
it took more than one night till she put up a fight
'fore that woman's soul was dead

He said son your daddy was bad
never knew what he had
so I shot him down with six silver tip rounds
the bastard's six feet underground
(lemme hear that mandolin)

See I came around after she was beat down
a knight in shining armor I guess.
well she held my hands as she told me her plans
well I was so in love I said yes.

See son your daddy was bad
never knew what he had
so I shot him down with six silver tip rounds
the bastard's six feet underground


Lord Maybe I Was Wrong.
Lord I loved your mama for so long.
Now she's gone.
(lemme hear that ?lucky? guitar)

Ten years have gone by I've often asked myself why
She didn't marry me instead of him
Guess the law was always close when them bankers forclosed
I took refuge behind a shield instead

See son your daddy was bad
never knew what he had
so I shot him down with six silver tip rounds
the bastard's six feet underground
(alright bring it down)

So now here we stand you've got the upper hand
wouldn't blame you for shootin' me dead
Just remember I tried to lead a good life
and your mama was the girl of my dreams

See son your daddy was bad
never knew what he had
so I shot him down with six silver tip rounds
the bastard's six feet underground
