letra de my old man - chuck auerbach
i held to his hand like he’d held on to mine
like if i held fast, he’d get more time
but his sickness come on like a thief in the night
and the man, my old man, had lost his fight
i was always a kid, him to my old man
till ma called crying, changed the plans
we did what we could, but there was never a chance
when the devil wants a turn to dance
so lord, if you please, ‘cause i don’t understand
why you couldn’t reach out, give him a hand
and tell me again, help me, please, understand
why you couldn’t leave me my old man?
he’d worked all his life, never asked for much
a meal, a whiskey was enough
raised without love since he’s three
alone, no one but ma and me
the last day i saw him, last one alive
withered and spent waiting to die
but deep in my sons’ eyes, i’m sure i see
the old man looking back at me
so lord, if you please, ‘cause i don’t understand
why you couldn’t reach out, give him a hand
and tell me again, help me, please, understand
why you couldn’t leave me my old man?
