A Thin Line



Daddy, stop me from making a fool of myself

Daddy, stop me from doing the wrong thing

Daddy, you got the way,

Ido not care what they say

Daddy, you are my song,

I'm gonna stop today



Refrain:

He's got a mean streak and he dance so fine

And he seems clean, but it's a thin line-

He's got a mean streak and he dance so fine

And he seems clean, but it's a thin line.



Now, mama, she saw me in an awful way

But she couldn't saveme from ruin.

But Daddy, he saw me through my darker days,

And we laughed when we saw who I was fooling



Refrain:



Now, daddy is generous, but he aint rich

And he treats me to a meal when he pleases

And I take a little money when I get the itch

But I swear one time, I heard him holler

"Jesus!"
