Gil Orms - Daddy Was a Liberal Lyrics

When I think back on life, I hear ma saying
How there's some things can be talked about and some things, well, they cain't
But now, I say, best to 'fess-up to the shame
That my daddy was a liberal but I loved him all the same

School days could get real rough as kids crowd round
Full of questions 'bout The Struggle in the quiet part of town
And then I's whupped and I's called a nasty name
'Cos my daddy was a liberal but I loved him all the same

Though he'd lots of love for The Poor
Cared 'bout fancy dames a whole lot more
Always feeling guilty 'cept when he's the one to blame
How cruelly we's abused, all the things can't be excused
'Cos my daddy was a librul but I loved him all the same

Well, folks, if there's libruls lurking there in your family tree
Some things don't turn out so bad as at first they seem
Sing Hallelu, y'all can make a joyful noise
See my daddy was a liberal but he died a Good Ol' Boy
Yes, my daddy was a librul but he died a Good Ol' Boy
