Intro:                              Grandpa was a miner and he gave me my black art Glittered rivers of black coal-dust tore our country apart Covered in coal-dust waking up too early in the morning Covered in coal-dust waiting for the moment the canary sings. Mama was a mermaid and a carnaby street gal She could have been a model but she spent her life mopping up spilt milk Covered in sea salt would he could he be home   when the stars came out to party Covered in sea salt yeah I know it was my fault   but he always ran away ’cause he didn’t want me. Oh Daddy was a sailor and he gave me a black heart Daddy was a sailor the only man that could tear me apart Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Da-a-ddy. Sister dances salsa and she cha-cha’s like a Queen I was a non-believer when she told me I was free                            Aunty Emmy was a medium oh she worked the Ouija board. Seeking out the lost souls and taking them back to the Lord. Oh but Daddy still was a sailor and he gave me a black heart Daddy was a sailor the only man that could tear me apart Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh a.
