Pray for the Son Songtext
von Gleewood

Oh son, don′t you worry child
Going for a walk might stop somewhere for awhile
If I don't come home boy, don′t you grieve
Pray you'll never be the same kind of man as me
Pray you'll never be the same kind of man as me


Oh Lord, oh my God
Spoil the child and spare the rod
Won′t you save him from my pain and woe
Let him lay down his roots and he′ll start to grow
Let him lay down his roots and he'll start to grow

His momma′s meek but Lord she's strong
Gonna see it in herself before too long
Her and that boy they might need a man
But he′ll never learn a thing from the rake that I am
He'll never learn a thing from the rake that I am

Oh son, don′t you worry child
Going for a walk, might stop somewhere for awhile
