Papa’s Down the Road Dead

[Verse 1]
Mama come running through the screen door
Throwed herself down on the floor
Papa’s down the road dead
Sister, she began to sob
Brother knew he’d have to find a job
Papa’s down the road dead
Papa’s down the road dead and gone

[Verse 2]
They found him in his Sunday best
Overalls were freshly pressed
Papa’s down the road dead
Angels gathered all around
Fedora hat lay on the ground
Papa’s down the road dead
Papa’s down the road dead and gone

[Chorus]
Looking back on all he gave us
He done pretty good
Yeah that man gave everything he could

[Verse 3]
Built that piney coffin strong
Everybody sang along
Papa’s down the road dead
It started as Amazing Grace
But Uncle Pen done took its place
Papa’s down the road dead
Papa’s down the road dead and gone

[Chorus]
Looking back on all he gave us
He done pretty good
Yeah that man gave everything he could

[Verse 4]
Sometimes I think, now that he’s gone
I can’t believe the world went on
Papa’s down the road dead
But summer comes when winter dies
I see him in my baby’s eyes
Papa’s down the road dead
Papa’s down the road dead and gone
Papa’s down the road dead and gone
