luke & the belleville orchestra - the son who wasn't a boy lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
now listen up, i’ll tell you
just to compel you
to think of some things never altered
a story of a simple man
who never left his hometown

his wife was mary, and she was very
eager to bear him a child
but what a shame when they became
the son he wanted wasn’t a boy

[chorus]
he didn’t want a daughter
he’d have preferred a son
let’s face it, what about is good for?
he did what any father would have done

[post+chorus[
he ruled his lonesomе daughter
with disappointment rife
hе couldn’t face that she was loathe
to be a burden or a wife

[verse 2]
that little girl, downhearted
no sooner started
to realize that she was special
then he confirmed, it’s time you earned
no pointless education
he knew quite early, she was no girlie
but tried to turn a blind eye
he didn’t know that time would show
despite his disapproval, she bloomed

[chorus]
he didn’t want a daughter
he’d have preferred a son
let’s face it, what about is good for?
he did what any father would have done

[break]

[chorus]
he didn’t want a daughter
he’d have preferred a son
let’s face it, what about is good for?
he did what any father would have done

[post+chorus]
he ruled his lonesome daughter
with disappointment rife
he couldn’t face that she was loathe
to be a burden or a wife
