Hush * * * Years ago, I knew a man He was my mother's biggest fan We used to walk beside the sea And he told me how life would be When I grew up to be a man.
And years ago, we used to play He used to laugh when I ran away And if I fell and hurt my knee He would run to comfort me And the pain would go away
* * *
Years ago, I knew a boy He was his daddy's pride and joy (pride and joy! ) But when the daddy went away It was such a rainy day That he brought out all his toys
And now the mother did explain Trying to take away the pain But he just couldn't understand That his father was not a man And it all was just a game.
The years have passed and so have I Making it hard for me to cry And if we wanna have a son Let it all be said and done Let the sadness pass him by

My old man is a good man He does the best that he can My old man is a good man He does the best that he can Your old man is not as good as my old man My old man, he’s a heck of a lot better than your old man My old man…
