letra de hennessy gunn - darien spirit
hennessy gunn, he was the only son to be born
to hattie and harold gunn one sunny day
they took him alive, it was a difficult birth, she was so old
and hattie, she died giving birth to her only child
hennessy grew to be tall, he was a good-looking boy
made his daddy proud, filled him full of joy
when he was five, his daddy took him down to see the priest
and said “you’ve gotta teach my son how to walk with god”
hennessy gunn, you’re never gonna make a man of god
hennessy gunn, you’re never gonna make a man of god
hennessy gunn, you’re never gonna be a preacher man
everything that you ever did was underhand
in 1931, no one could find any work
and poor harold gunn, he died a very hungry man
hennessy took to chicago just to find a job
and n0body wanted to know an alabama black boy
it was a bad time for a young boy, walking the streets
so hennessy sold his soul just for something to eat
heroin pushing was a sure way of making a dime
till the government came and put him away for a time
hennessy gunn, you’re never gonna make a man of god
hennessy gunn, you’re never gonna make a man of god
hennessy gunn, you’re never gonna be a preacher man
everything that you ever did was underhand
they let him see the lady but never close enough to touch
snapped his body like a twig and whipped his soul with love and freedom
someone has forsaken me but no man’s gonna break me
as he screamed “i’ll give you life for pride”, they laid him down to die
hennessy gunn, you’re never gonna make a man of god
hennessy gunn, you’re never gonna make a man of god
hennessy gunn, you’re never gonna be a preacher man
everything that you ever did was underhand
everything that you ever did was underhand
everything that you ever did was underhand
