Knocky-Boo (Daddy Died) (R. Ferguson)

knocky-boo…

drove down to my father’s grave
where someone had left flowers and i
heard some woman mourning in the distance

well maybe she lost her lover
maybe she lost her brother and she
loved him more than she loved anybody

he died when he was 39 just this fall i’ll turn 20
and if he were here i’d probably ask him for money

cuz it seems like we’re only passing through
it seems like that’s all we’re meant to do

but daddy are you where you wanted to be?
and was this life a shame for you?
tell me now cuz
i’m still passing through
tell me now cuz
i’m still passing through

i’m still passing through
i’m still passing through

and maybe that was all i was ever born to do

a knocky-boo a knocky-boo
and then another knocky-boo
