1
"I'll catch the tram line in the mornin'
2
With your leave", Van Bushell said
3
He had further heard the cock crow
4
As he stumbled out the shed
5
Then blind Joseph came towards him
6
With a shotgun in his arms
7
He said, "You'll pay me twenty dollars
8
Before you leave my farm"
9
Van Bushell saw a hook
10
Which replaced Joseph's hand
11
He said, "Now calm you down my brother
12
Let's discuss this man to man"
13
It's no good you gettin' angry
14
We must try to act our age
15
You're pursuin' your convictions
16
Like some hermit in a cage
17
You're the son of your father
18
You try a little bit harder
19
Do for me as he would do for you
20
With blood and water, bricks and mortar
21
He built for you a home
22
You're the son of your father
23
So treat me as your own
24
Well slowly Joseph barely lowered the rifle
25
And he emptied out the shells
26
Van Bushell, he came towards him
27
He shook his arm and wished him well
28
He said, "Now hey blind man that is fine
29
But I sure can't waste my time
30
So move aside and let me go my way
31
I've got a train to ride"
32
Well Joseph turned around
33
His grin was now a frown
34
He said, "Let me just refresh your mind
35
Your manners boy seem hard to find"
36
You're the son of your father
37
Try a little bit harder
38
Do for me as he would do for you
39
With blood and water, bricks and mortar
40
He built for you a home
41
You're the son of your father
42
So treat me as your own
43
Well there's two men lying dead as nails
44
On an East Virginia farm
45
For charity's an argument
46
That only leads to harm
47
So be careful when they're kind to you
48
Don't you end up in the dirt
49
Just remember what I'm saying to you
50
And you likely won't get hurt
51
You're the son of your father
52
Oh, try a little bit harder
53
You gotta do for me as he would do for you
54
With blood and water, bricks and mortar
55
He built for you a home
56
You're the son of your father
57
So treat me as your own
58
You're the son of your father
59
So treat me as your own
60
You're the son of your father
61
So treat me as your own, yeah
