My Father / Dialog

Nina Simone
The Very Best Of Nina Simone 1967-1972 - Sugar In My Bowl

Lyrics 

Well, that, that trips me
 My father always promised me
 That we would live in France
 (You know you don't believe that)
 We'd go boating on the Seine
 And I would learn to dance
 We lived in Ohio then
 And he worked in the mines
 I don't wanna sing this song
 It's not me
 My father always promised me that we would be free
 But he did not promise me that we would live in France (Ha-ha-ha)
 And they had take him away again
 How about Brooklyn?
 God, no! My father knew nothing about New York, at all
 He promised me that we would live in peace
 And that, maybe, I can still get
 Okay, we have to skip that one for later
