Текст (слова) песни: Nanci Griffith - Daddy Said

 
Oh, I used to wish I was a hard line taker ... and they`d say, 
"Six to one a half dozen`ll break her", 
`till I fell in love with a young man who sang the blues 
Oh, bless my daddy, he warned me well 
He`d whisper in my ear and say, "Now look out, gal ... 
there`s always a ne`er do well gonna call you the fool" 
 
(chorus) 
He said, "you`ll never learn to fish on a borrowed line 
you`ll never learn to write if you`re walkin` `round cryin` 
and it`s a pity that you`re lover died young, but ... 
you`ll never get tired of livin` alone". 
So, now I dream of the lover that I don`t know 
It`s safer this way `cuz I don`t have to go ... oh, and he 
won`t come ... so nobody goes away 
Sometimes I wish for the warmth of his hand 
take a look in these eyes and understand 
I`m just a little too old to be a-learnin` the rules of the game 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
Oh, maybe I could take him to Mexico 
We`d kick our heels in the warm cloudy gulf 
He`d sing a song about the weather in the Poconos; 
this lover that I don`t know 
Then two hearts would pound `stead of one in the night 
I`d learn to fish with my own line 
catch my dream and hope that line would hold 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
No, I never get tired of livin` alone 
Sometimes my feet get cold ... when I`m livin` alone ...
