Cordelia

Cordelia, Cordelia, my darling daughter
Don't you recognize your old man
I suffered for sure when I froze on the moor
So give me all the sympathy you can

Say daddy she said you're a long way from dead
You can walk, you can talk, you can bear
And if you think you've seen the worst of it
Then noone's told you about the end

No no no, no no

Well that scared me some and I started to wonder
Just when things got out of control
You made a pact with the news of the blues
And she called ya, you're bluffing your ace in the hole

Guеss I throw in my hand, are you happy then?
Said a resonant voicе from the sky
Well so is the man that sings the blues
No matter how much he cried

No no no, no no

Down at the pier a message appears
In a bottle 'fort nin the brown' (?)
It says if you think your story beats 'em all
Then what are you waiting for tonight

No no no, no no
No no no no, no no
No no no no, no no
