Oh! My Pa-Pa (O Mein Papa)
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
Oh, my papa, to me he was so wonderful
Oh, my papa, to me he was so good
No one could be, so gentle and so loveable
Oh, my papa, he always understood.
Gone are the days when he could take me on his knee
And with a smile he'd change my tears to laughter.
Oh, my papa, so funny, so adorable
Always the clown, so funny in his way
Oh, my papa, to me he was so wonderful
Deep in my heart I miss him so today.
Gone are the days when he could take me on his knee
And with a smile he'd change my tears to laughter
Oh, my papa, to me he was so wonderful
Deep in my heart I miss him so today...
Oh, my papa, to me he was so good
No one could be, so gentle and so loveable
Oh, my papa, he always understood.
Gone are the days when he could take me on his knee
And with a smile he'd change my tears to laughter.
Oh, my papa, so funny, so adorable
Always the clown, so funny in his way
Oh, my papa, to me he was so wonderful
Deep in my heart I miss him so today.
Gone are the days when he could take me on his knee
And with a smile he'd change my tears to laughter
Oh, my papa, to me he was so wonderful
Deep in my heart I miss him so today...
