Conway Twitty & Charles Haney
(L.E. White - Charles Haney)
Every son wants to follow in the footsteps of his dad
That's why my boy is in this cell next to me
Tonight I'll sing him a song about mama and home
For tomorrow he'll meet his destiny.
So I'll sing him a song about mama and home
It's all that's kept him from losing his mind
I'll sing him a song about mama and home
but tonight I'll sing my last time.
(In the morning at sunrise they're gonna take my boy out to hang
And the scaffold and thirteen steps they built near by my door
But I know that when the warden leads him past my cell
Yes, he's gonna say papa sing me a song once more)
Papa sing me a song about mama and home
It's all that's kept me from losing my mind
Papa sing him a song about mama and home
But sing a song to die by this time.
Papa sing a song to die by this time...
Conway Twitty, stage name of Harold Lloyd Jenkins (1933-1993), was a legendary American singer-songwriter and guitarist. Born in Arkansas, he began his musical career in the 1950s as a rockabilly artist, achieving success with the group The Imperials. In 1965, after a brief foray into country music, he embraced the pop-country style that would make him famous. With an unmistakable vocal timbre and catchy melodies, Twitty dominated the country charts for over two decades, selling millions of records and winning numerous awards. Among his most celebrated hits are "Hello Darlin'", "It's Only Make Believe" and "Tight Fittin' Jeans".
