My Father's Gun Lyrics - Tumbleweed Connection - Elton John

From this day on I own my father's gun 

We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun 

I laid his broken body down below the southern land 

It wouldn't do to bury him where any Yankee stands 

I'll take my horse and I'll ride the Northern plain 

To wear the colour of the greys and join the fight again 

And I'll rest until I know the cause is fought and won 

From this day on until I die I'll wear my father's gun 

I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight 

To New Orleans well that's just fine alright 

'Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men 

(Aaa aaa aaa) 

So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

As soon as this is over we'll go home 

To plant the seeds of justice in our bones 

To watch the children growin' and see the women sewin' 

There'll be laughter when the bells of freedom ring 

I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight 

To New Orleans well that's just fine alright 

'Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men 

(Aaa aaa aaa) 

All are there, all are there 

(Aaa aaa aaa) 

Slip us a rope and sail on round the bend 

I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight

'Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men 

(Aaa aaa aaa) 

All are there, all I said 

(Aaa aaa aaa) 

Slip us a rope and sail on round the bend 

Oh ho, I'd like to know where the riverboat, riverboat sails tonight 

To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
