AmDaddy, when I grow Cup I want to Gpaint my Fportrait Amtrue AmDaddy, when I grow Cup I want to Gbe a Frebel like Amyou
[Verse 1]
From Ghell to Fbreakfast man Amcuts him a path To his Glong home over Fyonder, Ameast of the tracks I've Gcome to see the Fcountry not toAm make good time Hang you a Ghorse thief, hang you a Fcard cheat or Amtwo
GSnake beat the Fheat of Amhis own vice Ate his Gapples wild and Fdid not forget to Amexercise The Gbitter fruit of Ftruth culled Amfrom the tree Of Gvanity you Fcannot Amescape
[Chorus]
AmDaddy, when I grow Cup I want to Gpaint my Fportrait Amtrue AmDaddy, when I grow Cup I want to Gbe a Frebel like Amyou

GOld Bill FFaulkner, the Amwhiskey chief With his Gsongs of Flife and his Amblack-eyed peas He Gspread his wings and Fflew across the Ambig bad sea Came back a Gpoet with a Fbeard and a Amcoat of fleas
GBill walks Finto a AmMississippi bar GGod is dead, Fhe screams, AmGod is dead But ain't Gnobody Flistening to the Amlittle southern man Eating Ghomemade drop Fbiscuits and Amcountry fried ham
[Chorus]
AmDaddy, when I grow Cup I want to Gpaint my Fportrait Amtrue AmDaddy, when I grow Cup I want to Gbe a Frebel like Amyou

[Chorus]
AmDaddy, when I grow Cup I want to Gpaint my Fportrait Amtrue AmDaddy, when I grow Cup I want to Gbe a Frebel like Amyou
