Heavenly Father Holy Mother

Written by David Allan Coe

	  		

 

 

Intro: D 

verse 1 

D 
If grandpa was alive right now 
G                      A                 D 
There ain't no tellin' what he'd have to say 
D                                   G 
Why he had fifteen wives all living with him 
        A               D 
When he finally passed away 
    G 
And though I've just got two now mama 
G                             D 
That's enough to keep me satisfied 
  A                             G 
I haven't had a son yet but the good Lord knows 
    A                D 
The three of us have tried

A G 'Cause the Pennsylvania Dutch A D That we once spoke has been forgotten G D A And the Mormon way of life is almost gone G A D A G But now and then we gather down in Salt Lake City G A G To raise our voices in a joyful song D G D And we sing: Heavenly Father, Holy Mother A Keeper of our children tiller of the land D G D Take us to the river in a horse and buggy A D Give us our salvation help us make our stand

verse 2 D No, ma'am, I did not go to see G A D The Reverend Brigham Young while I was there D G But I'm sure glad to know you wanted him A D To mention my name in a prayer G I hope he did not preach about the young folks G D That refused to make the change A G 'Cause if he did I'm sure I got a little more A D Than my share of the blame
