You know my momma walked by his side
They never ever knew one moment of peace till the day after they had died
Lord Lord
The day after they had died
You know my daddy hey he was a railroad man rambled all around
And he never ever knew what contempt was till they laid my daddy down
Oh yea
Laid my daddy down yea now
Yea now don't tell me your trouble
Cause I've known misery of my own
Because my daddy wеll he walked down in darkness
You know my momma yеa she went along
Oh yea
My momma well she went along
You know my mama yea she was a hooker
Yea she hustled all over town
Took all of my daddy's good lovin lord
To hold my mama down
Oh yea
Hold my mama down
I said don't tell me your trouble
Cause I've known misery of my own
Because my daddy well he walked down in darkness
You know my momma yea she went along
Oh yea
My momma well she went along
You know my momma well she went along
Daddy Walked in Darkness was written by Hoyt Axton.
