Daddy Frank played the guitar and the French harp,
Sister played the ring and [A] tambourine,
And Mama couldn't hear our pretty music,
But she read our lips and helped the [D] family sing.
That little band was all a part of living,
And our only means of living [A] at the time,
And it wasn't like no normal family combo,
Cause Daddy Frank the guitar [D] man was blind,
[Bm]
Frank and Mama counted [D] on each other,
[Bm] Their one and only weakness [D] made them strong.

Mama did the driving [D] for the family,
[E] And Frank made a living [A] with a song,
[Gbm] [Bm]
Home was just a camp [D] along the highway,
[Bm]
Bigger bed was where we [D] bedded down,
[G] Don't ever once remember [D] going hungry,
But I remember Mama cooking on the ground.
