Matches and KeroseneI can see flames across the field I can see smoke rising in the sky I told my baby I loved her Then I kissed my baby goodbye I can see smoke rising in the sky Her daddy told me to leave town Her daddy said I was no good Her daddy has a big old house That big old house is made of wood Her daddy said I was no good Chorus: Her daddy called me painter Painting houses is my trade He joked about the stains on my clothes He laughed at the money I made Now I've painted him a little picture The prettiest one I've ever seen A still life of sorts In matches and kerosene I'm gonna head for the Rio Grande I'll find some work in Mexico I can speak a little Spanish And Canada is much too cold I'll find some work in Mexico Chorus: Her daddy called me painter Painting houses is my trade He joked about the stains on my clothes He laughed at the money I made Now I've painted him a little picture The prettiest one I've ever seen A still life of sorts In matches and kerosene I wonder if he'll be sorry I wonder just what he'll say When he learns his only daughter Is waiting for me in Monterrey I wonder if he'll be sorry Chorus: Her daddy called me painter Painting houses is my trade He joked about the stains on my clothes He laughed at the money I made Now I've painted him a little picture The prettiest one I've ever seen A still life of sorts In matches and kerosene Bridge: He tried to keep us apart He didn't want me around But the walls he put between us Are burning to the ground Chorus: Her daddy called me painter Painting houses is my trade He joked about the stains on my clothes He laughed at the money I made Now I've painted him a little picture The prettiest one I've ever seen A still life of sorts In matches and kerosene Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
