              DADDY FRANK  by Merle Haggard
 Daddy Frank played the guitar and the french harp
 Sister played the ringing tambourine
 Mamma couldn't hear the pretty music
 She read our lips and helped the family sing
 That little band was all a part of living
 And our only means of living at the time
 And it wasn't like no normal family combo
 Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind
 
 Chorus
 Frank and mamma counted on each other
 Their one and  only weakness made them strong
 Mamma did the driving for the family
 And Frank made a living with a song
 Home was just a camp along the highway
 Pick-up bed was where we bedded down
 Don't ever once remember going hungry
 But I remember mamma cooking on the ground
 
 Can't remember  how they came acquainted
 Can't recall just how it came to be
 There had to be some special help from someone
 And blessed be the one that let it be
 
 Fever caused my mamma's loss of hearing
 Daddy Frank was born without his sight
 And mamma needed someone she could lean on
 And I believe the guitar man was right
 Repeat chorus...
