Lyrics for Father To Son - Live At The Rainbow, London / November 1974

So this one is called 'Father To Son' A word in your ear From father to son Hear the word that I say I fought with you, fought on your side Long before you were born Kings will be crowned, the word goes around Father to son, to son And the voice is so clear Time after time I keep on calling you, calling you on Don't destroy what you see, your country to be Just keep building on the ground that's been won Kings will be crowned, the word goes around Father to son, to son Yes Do, do, do, do, do, do Do, do, do, do, do Our family song Do, do, do, do, do, do Ooh, yeah Do, do, do, do, do, do, do Let me move along, along, along Take this letter that I give you Take it sonny hold it high You won't understand a word that's in it But you'll write it out again before you die Oooh, yeah To-da, to-da, to-da, oh yeah I want to write you out a letter A word in your ear From father to son Funny you don't hear a single word I say But my letter to you will stay by your side Through the years, though the loneliness has gone Sing if you will But the air you breathe I live to give you Father to son Father to, (father to), son Nice, thank you Thank you very much Um, right now we'd like to do a little sad song Oh yes, so I hope you've got all your handkerchiefs out
