[D] Daddy Frank played the guitar in the French Hall,
Sister played the ringin' [A] tambourine,
Mama couldn't hear our pretty music,
She read our lips and her [D] family sang,
That little band was all a part of livin',
And our only means of livin' [A] at the time,
And it wasn't like no normal family combo,
Cause Daddy Frank the guitar [D] man was blind,
[Bm] Don't remember how they [D] got acquainted,
[Bm] Can't recall just how it came to [D] be,
[G] But there had to be some special [D] help from someone,
[E] And blessed be the one [A] who let it [G] be,
[Gbm]
[Bm] Fever caused my mama's lost [D] hearing,

[Bb]

And our only means of livin' [Bb] at the time,
