Artist/Band: Joni Mitchell
Lyrics for Song: My Old Man
Lyrics for Album: Blue [1987]



My old man

He's a singer in the park

He's a walker in the rain

He's a dancer in the dark

We don't need no piece of paper

From the city hall

Keeping us tied and true

No, my old man

Keeping away my blues



He's my sunshine in the morning

He's my fireworks at the end of the day

He's the warmest chord I ever heard

Play that warm chord, play and stay baby

We don't need no piece of paper

From the city hall

Keeping us tied and true

My old man

Keeping away my blues



But when he's gone

Me and them lonesome blues collide

The bed's too big

The frying pan's too wide



Then he comes home

And he takes me in his loving arms

And he tells me all his troubles

And he tells me all my charms

We don't need no piece of paper

From the city hall

Keeping us tied and true

No, my old man

Keeping away my blues



But when he's gone

Me and them lonesome blues collide

The bed's too big

The frying pan's too wide



My old man

He's a singer in the park

He's a walker in the rain

He's a dancer in the dark

We don't need no piece of paper

From the city hall

Keeping us tied and true

No, my old man

Keeping away my lonesome blues
