When all your good intentions,they just leave you feeling oldAnd your latest inventionshave all left you feeling coldWhen it's then the gypsie says, "come onover man, have no fear"She says "Daddy died last year, and I wish he were here"So all your grand ambitions,they're doing what they're told.Down at the bottom of the river,where the old white fingers scaldThey say the women dug this river,they filled it with their tearsAnd daddy died last year, I wish he were here.So if you want to see me,I'm at the bottom of the stair,It's the place where no one looks for me,It's the place where no one dares,And if you think the times have been changin',Well it's anywhere but here.See, daddy died last year, and I wish he were here.SongtexteSo the congressmen and the concubinesAre all happy in their cage,And the women who surround them,They're all cute and underage,They say "At least we'll be remembered",Screamin' "Revolution's near!"And daddy died last year, well I wish he were here.So the lawyers, they come bleedin' meWith papa's old harpoon.They hold it in a glove,Made of his barren woman's womb.And she said, she wants my bones,To decorate his tomb,See, daddy died last year, and I wish he were here.oh and daddy died last year, and I wish he were here.Daddy died last year, and I wish he were here.
