the restoration (us) - whisperings lyrics

Loading...

narrator: henry stamp

my name is henry stamp and i am eight years old
my daddy works at colonel palmer’s mill, shovelin’ coal
my best friend is thomas and he lives through the wood lot over there
his momma’s ms. constance, his daddy was mr. aaron vale
but daddy calls thomas a quadroon boy;
called mr. aaron a half-breed, mrs. constance a wh0r-—

and i don’t understand

i remember buildin’ dams with thomas down by colonel palmer’s creek
mr. vale was building him a mansion, thomas watched it rise with me
me and thomas ran to get the doctor after mr. vale collapsed
ms. constance says the palmers broke their promise, and cut his pay in half
but daddy says sinners always get what they deserve;
and momma told thomas not to come ‘round any more—

and i don’t understand
