Emmylou Harris

^Bb A house not a home was a picture satin painted
For ^Eb sweet little sister and ^Bb me
Our daddy would frown while mother was praying
His heart was so hardened that ^F he would not ^Bb believe
In anger he'd ^Bb7 swear his ^Eb voice cold and ^Bb loud
^Bb His Sundays were spent out with the gamblin ^F crowd
^Bb I've never seen my daddy ^Eb inside a house of ^Bb God
For Satin held his hand down the ^F path of sin he ^Bb trod
SOLO
^Bb Not long ago our circle was broken
When ^Eb God called on mother one ^Bb night
^Bb In a voice sweet and low her last words were spoken
Asking our daddy to ^F raise her children ^Bb right
The angels ^Bb7 rejoiced in ^Eb heaven last ^Bb night
^Bb I heard my daddy praying dear God make it ^F right
^Bb He was smiling and singing with ^Eb tears in his ^Bb eyes
^Bb While mother with the angels rejo ^F iced last ^Bb night
While mother with the angels rejo ^F iced ^Eb last ^Bb night
