You and mother would cry when dad went away selling his watches and chains He'd be gone for awhile weeks at a time the neighbors all started to say You and your mother should not disagree that he's wasting away (wasting away) Wasting, wasting away All his morale, his theology have been left to decay (left to) Left to, left to decay Where's your meat, where's your fruit, where's your bread have you eaten today (have you) Have you, eaten today Then your mother'd say, pay them no heed, they don't know what they say (they don't) They don't, know what they say Then your father'd come home all of your doubts, questions and worries were gone Yeah and soon so was he and the house 'cross the street Songtextethe rumors and lies they went on You and your mother should not disagree that he's wasting away (wasting away) Wasting, wasting away All his morale, his theology have been left to decay (left to) Left to, left to decay Where's your meat, where's your fruit, where's your bread have you eaten today (have you) Have you, eaten today Then your mother'd say pay them no heed, they don't know what they say (they don't) They don't, know what they say So get in your bible and read The passages written for thee So rumors don't set in as truth, And the neighbors lies don't get to you And you and your mom shouldn't cry For dad will be home in due time He has only left to provide A meal and a roof to stay dry (Thanks to Braden for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
