Daddy Frank (The Guitar Man) - Re-Recorded In Stereo

Daddy Frank played the guitar and the French horn
 Sister played the ringin' tambourine
 Mama couldn't hear our pretty music
 She read our lips and helped the family sing
 That little band was all a part of livin'
 And our only means of livin' at the time
 And it wasn't like no normal family combo
 'Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind
 Frank and momma counted on each other
 Their one and only weakness made them strong
 And momma did the drivin' for the family
 And Frank made a livin' with a song
 Home was just a camp along the highway
 A pick-up bed was where we bedded down
 Don't ever once remember goin' hungry
 I remember mama cookin' on the ground
 Daddy Frank played the guitar and the French horn
 Sister played the ringin' tambourine
 Mama couldn't hear our pretty music
 She read our lips and helped the family sing
 That little band was all a part of livin'
 And our only means of livin' at the time
 And it wasn't like no normal family combo
 'Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind
 Don't remember how they got acquainted
 I can't recall just how it came to be
 But there had to be some special help from someone
 And blessed be the one who let it be
 Fever caused my mama's loss of hearing
 Daddy Frank was born without his sight
 And mama needed someone she could lean on
 And I believe the guitar man was right
 Daddy Frank played the guitar and the French horn
 Sister played the ringin' tambourine
 Mama couldn't hear our pretty music
 She read our lips and helped the family sing
 That little band was all a part of livin'
 And our only means of livin' at the time
 And it wasn't like no normal family combo
 'Cause Daddy Frank the guitar man was blind
