And his love will be his vision

And he'll take you where you stand

And will you stand

Your life by his and help the boy become a man ?



Will he be the son of his father

His father

the teacher teachin' love

And honesty and bein' his own man handler

Or the son of

the son of a run of the millrun

Rotten gambler.







Will the devil be gettin' to you as you look back

Over what you've done.

And what you've done

Was it for reason or for rhyme or was it just for fun?



Will he be the son of his father

. . .



Back on the road now deacon will lose your hand

There ain't no kingdom for the gamblin' man.

You know the road now and you have made your stand

And when his eyes shine upon you

shine upon you



Will he be the son of his father

. . .
