Ukulele blues
My daddy told me
From miles away
You gotta get your education
cuz they can’t take that away
Oh lord all the things
That never stay
Oh daddy what I learned
they can’t take that away
Smokin’ takes your voice
And cryin’ takes your tears
Livin’ takes your money
But sometimes it takes your fears
Oh lord all the things that never stay
Oh daddy what I learned they can’t take that away
Time takes your youth
Day to day
Love it comes and and then leaves you alone
Cryin’ in my pillows never made him come home
Even daddy left me, but that was years ago.
Oh lord all the things that never stay
Oh daddy what I learned they can’t take it away.
