A Thin Line
Daddy, stop me from making a fool of myself
Daddy, stop me from doing the wrong thing
Daddy, you got the way,
Ido not care what they say
Daddy, you are my song,
I'm gonna stop today
Refrain:
He's got a mean streak and he dance so fine
And he seems clean, but it's a thin line-
He's got a mean streak and he dance so fine
And he seems clean, but it's a thin line.
Now, mama, she saw me in an awful way
But she couldn't saveme from ruin.
But Daddy, he saw me through my darker days,
And we laughed when we saw who I was fooling
Refrain:
Now, daddy is generous, but he aint rich
And he treats me to a meal when he pleases
And I take a little money when I get the itch
But I swear one time, I heard him holler
"Jesus!"
Refrain:
