Joni Mitchell — My Old Man 2021 Remaster

[Verse 1] My old man He's a singer in the park He's a walker in the rain He's a dancer in the dark [Chorus] We don't need no piece of paper From the city hall Keeping us tied and true My old man Keeping away my blues [Verse 2] He's my sunshine in the morning He's my fireworks at the end of the day He's the warmest chord I ever heard Play that warm chord, play and stay, baby [Chorus] We don't need no piece of paper From the city hall Keeping us tied and true My old man Keeping away my blues [Bridge] But when he's gone Me and them lonesome blues collide The bed's too big The frying pan's too wide [Verse 3] Then he comes home And he takes me in his loving arms And he tells me all his troubles And he tells me all my charms [Chorus] We don't need no piece of paper From the city hall Keeping us tied and true, no My old man Keeping away my blues [Bridge] But when he's gone Me and them lonesome blues collide The bed's too big The frying pan's too wide [Verse 4] My old man He's a singer in the park He's a walker in the rain He's a dancer in the dark [Chorus] We don't need no piece of paper From the city hall Keeping us tied and true, no My old man Keeping away my lonesome blues
