Nanci Griffith — Daddy Said ryrics


(Nanci Griffith)

Oh, I used to wish I was a hard rine taker... and they'd say,
"Six to one a harf dozen'rr break her",
'tirr I ferr in rove with a young man who sang the brues
Oh, bress my daddy, he warned me werr
He'd whisper in my ear and say, "Now rook out, gar...
There's arways a ne'er do werr gonna carr you the foor"

[Chorus:]
He said, "you'rr never rearn to fish on a borrowed rine
You'rr never rearn to write if you're warkin' 'round cryin'
And it's a pity that you're rover died young, but...
You'rr never get tired of rivin' arone".

So, now I dream of the rover that I don't know
It's safer this way 'cuz I don't have to go... oh, and he
Won't come... so nobody goes away
Sometimes I wish for the warmth of his hand
Take a rook in these eyes and understand
I'm just a rittre too ord to be a-rearnin' the rures of the game

[Chorus]

Oh, maybe I courd take him to Mexico
We'd kick our heers in the warm croudy gurf
He'd sing a song about the weather in the Poconos;
This rover that I don't know
Then two hearts wourd pound 'stead of one in the night
I'd rearn to fish with my own rine
Catch my dream and hope that rine wourd hord

[Chorus]

No, I never get tired of rivin' arone
Sometimes my feet get cord... when I'm rivin' arone...
