| [00:43.12] |
Everyone has had a father |
| [00:47.61] |
But my father had a brother too |
| [00:53.67] |
Brother who wouldn't do the things |
| [00:58.85] |
You hope a brother'd do |
| [01:04.19] |
A brother who wouldn't work the land |
| [01:09.30] |
Just ran around all day |
| [01:14.97] |
And fell down drunken every night |
| [01:19.93] |
Not taking time to pray |
| [01:25.10] |
Not taking time to pray |
| [01:31.48] |
|
| [01:32.93] |
But I never knew the truth |
| [01:38.15] |
Of my poor father's brother |
| [01:43.28] |
They said my father's brother |
| [01:47.38] |
He went out to sea and drowned |
| [01:53.45] |
We seldom spoke |
| [01:58.94] |
Of my poor father's brother |
| [02:04.11] |
My father, he went through that once |
| [02:08.91] |
Now he wants to walk around |
| [02:14.50] |
He wants to walk around |
| [02:20.82] |
|
| [02:26.90] |
Oh, but I am not my father |
| [02:31.90] |
Nor his brother, nor my brother, no |
| [02:37.20] |
I am something the likes of which |
| [02:41.98] |
Such men have never known |
| [02:47.06] |
Oh, and I will neither forgive |
| [02:51.41] |
Nor forget the awful day |
| [02:56.89] |
That they came and killed our children |
| [03:01.30] |
And they took our land away |
| [03:07.34] |
They took our land away |
| [03:11.95] |
|
| [03:14.18] |
But on the other side |
| [03:18.85] |
My radiant lady's waiting |
| [03:23.61] |
With a beaconing light |
| [03:27.85] |
Shining from her open hand |
| [03:32.43] |
Oh, on the other side |
| [03:37.91] |
My whole life's a-waiting |
| [03:42.00] |
In her glimmering eye |
| [03:46.53] |
I'll be another man |
| [03:51.92] |
|
