Blues in E

Blues in E - Kate & Anna McGarrigle

My daddy came to see me

He came all dressed in black

He said "Katie dear"

"You know I want you back"

Oh no oh no oh no

You know I want you back again

You know I can't stand to live alone

I got up from my bed

Jumped back from the cold

Said "You're looking good"

And I said "I'm feelin' old"

Oh no oh no oh no

I'll give you silver give you gold

I'll give you anything your little hand can hold

He came back on the Friday

He came dressed in brown

He said "Tell me now"

"Well do I swim or do I drown "

Oh no oh no oh no

You know I had to say yes

Because I couldn't let that poor boy down
