text: My old man
  Hes a singer in the park
  Hes a walker in the rain
  Hes a dancer in the dark
  We dont need no piece of paper
  From the city hall
  Keeping us tied and true
  My old man
  Keeping away my blues
  Hes my sunshine in the morning
  Hes my fireworks at the end of the day
  Hes the warmest chord I ever heard
  Play that warm chord, play and stay, baby
  We dont need no piece of paper
  From the city hall
  Keeping us tied and true
  My old man
  Keeping away my blues
  But when hes gone
  Me and them lonesome blues collide
  The beds too big
  The frying pans too wide
  Then he comes home
  And he takes me in his loving arms
  And he tells me all his troubles
  And he tells me all my charms
  We dont need no piece of paper
  From the city hall
  Keeping us tied and true, no
  My old man
  Keeping away my blues
  But when hes gone
  Me and them lonesome blues collide
  The beds too big
  The frying pans too wide
  My old man
  Hes a singer in the park
  Hes a walker in the rain
  Hes a dancer in the dark
  We dont need no piece of paper
  From the city hall
  Keeping us tied and true, no
  My old man
  Keeping away my lonesome blues
