The 9th track on Dr. John’s “Locked Down” cut, “My Children, My Angels” sees him offering up this mea culpa in an attempt to reconnect with his estranged offspring.
Love y'all, ain't nothin' you can do about it
Ain't tryin' to make excuses but then
Just wanna be there for y'all as a friend
Your pa did a lotta work on hisself
Just know I love y'all more than anyone else
[Chorus]
Tell me 'bout your desires right now
Don't trip on loose wires
I'll show you how
My babies, I wish I'd never made you blue
My children, my angels
I'm talkin' to you
One is too many
Billions ain't never enough
Don't take the easy road
There's no shortcuts
Spirit kingdom do
What we can't do for ourselves
Don't put nothin' down
Without lovin' everybody else
[Chorus]
Tell me 'bout your desires right now
Don't trip on loose wires
I'll show you how
My babies, I wish I'd never made you blue
My children, my angels
I'm talkin' to you
[Chorus]
Tell me 'bout your desires right now
Don't trip on loose wires
I'll show you how
My babies, I wish I'd never made you blue
My children, my angels
I'm talkin' to you
