The grandbaby of a moonshine man

Plant my bare feet on solid ground for years

D#When I sang my song
[Outro]
(When I sang the song of Abraham)
(When the angels guide and take my hand)
G#(Oh, no)
D#Goodbye to what has been
G# D# F A#A pretty house that we never settled in
D#A funeral for fair-weather friends
G# D# F G# A#I Am the one to cleanse me of my Father's sins
G# G CmAmerican Requiem
