My Fathers Gun — текст песни (Elton John)

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album tumbleweed connection



From this day on I own my fathers gun

We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun

I laid his broken body down below the southern land

It wouldnt do to bury him where any yankee stands



Ill take my horse and Ill ride the northern plain

To wear the colour of the greys and join the fight again

Ill not rest until I know the cause is fought and won

From this day on until I die Ill wear my fathers gun





Id like to know where the riverboat sails tonight

To new orleans well thats just fine alright

`cause theres fighting there and the company needs men

So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend





As soon as this is over well go home

To plant the seeds of justice in our bones

To watch the children growing and see the women sewing

Therell be laughter when the bells of freedom ring
