Joni Mitchell - My Old Man lyrics

My old man<br>He's a singer in the park<br>He's a walker in the rain<br>He's a dancer in the dark<br>We don't need no piece of paper<br>From the city hall<br>Keeping us tied and true<br>My old man<br>Keeping away my blues<br><br>He's my sunshine in the morning<br>He's my fireworks at the end of the day<br>He's the warmest chord I ever heard<br>Play that warm chord, play and stay baby<br>We don't need no piece of paper<br>From the city hall<br>Keeping us tied and true<br>My old man<br>Keeping away my blues<br><br>But when he's gone<br>Me and them lonesome blues collide<br>The bed's too big<br>The frying pan's too wide<br><br>Then he comes home<br>And he takes me in his loving arms<br>And he tells me all his troubles<br>And he tells me all my charms<br>We don't need no piece of paper<br>From the city hall<br>Keeping us tied and true<br>No, my old man<br>Keeping away my blues<br><br>But when he's gone<br>Me and them lonesome blues collide<br>The bed's too big<br>The frying pan's too wide<br><br>My old man<br>He's a singer in the park<br>He's a walker in the rain<br>He's a dancer in the dark<br>We don't need no piece of paper<br>From the city hall<br>Keeping us tied and true<br>No, my old man<br>Keeping away my lonesome blues
