Don't You Cry

Don’t you cry, don’t you cry, don’t you cry
Daddy’s got a gun and he’s walking on by
Don’t you cry girl cover your eyes
Daddy’s gonna kill her and
Daddy’s gonna cry and
Daddy’s gonna kill her and
Mamma’s gonna die

Hush, sweet little girl
Don’t ask why
Things will never be right
For the one who could never be
The one who could never
Who could never be seen
Daddy’s got an idea in his head
And it just ain’t you

So hush little baby
It won’t matter in the end anyway
One of these days
You’re gonna wake up singing
Mamma’s gonna cry but
You’ll open your arms and
And learn to fly
Little girl, learn to fly
Cause Daddy’s gonna die
And things will never be alright.

The images are my life, distrubing? Yes, but still mine and I like this, it reads like a song.
