James Taylor - Daddy's Ba lyrics

(Bobby Fischer/Charlie Black/Austin Roberts)

When you said you loved me

You looked me straight in the eye

And you knew I bought it

Then you knew it was a low down lie

You put your boots under my bed

Put dreams in my head

And when you said goodbye

There was nothing I could do but cry

'Cause you can't hang 'em high

You can't lay 'em low

The way you could honey years ago

When love and honor weren't on the list

If frontier justice proveiled today

My daddy and brothers would make you pay

That's the kind of justice you'd understand

Well I hope she's pretty

Yeah I hope she's sweet

Hope you also got her to make you cheat and heart skip a beat

I hope she takes you for a long ride

And leaves you stranded by the roadside

When your thinking how she broke your heart

I hope you think of me

Too bad you can't hang 'em high

You can't lay 'em low

The way you could honey years ago

When love and honor weren't on the list

If frontier justice proveiled today

My daddy and my brothers would make you pay

That's the kind of justice you'd understand

Yeah

If frontier justice proveiled today

My daddy and my brothers would make you pay

That's the kind of justice you'd understand

Yeah

If frontier justice

A little frontier justice

Oh give me frontier justice
