Papa Was a Good Man

Johnny Cash

Transposer:

It rained all the way to Cincinnati With our mattress on top of the car Us kids were eatin' crackers and baloney And papa kept on drivin' never stopped once at a bar And then mama started talkin' about Jesus And how our lives could be from now on While papa bought a used tire in Columbus Mama rocked the baby till all her tears were gone  She said your papa is a good man and don't you kids forget it The whiskey's tryin' to ruin him but I know the Lord won't let it Then we sang Amazing Grace and Bringing In The Sheaves Rock of Ages Rock of Ages cleft for me                I remember when Papa finally gave up drinking I think Mama was the only one on earth that really taught she could I remember a lot of times we?ve pack everything we owned Into some old car and we?d start out for some new town And trough it all Mama?s faith was the one thing Was strong enough to finally do some good  She said your papa is a good man and don't you kids forget it The whiskey's tryin' to ruin him but I know the Lord won't let it Then we sang Amazing Grace and Bringing In The Sheaves Rock of Ages Rock of Ages cleft for me

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'une famille en voyage, marquée par des difficultés, mais aussi par un soutien inébranlable. Le père, malgré ses luttes avec l'alcool, est perçu comme un homme bon par sa femme, qui a une foi profonde en Dieu. Elle évoque l'importance de cette foi dans leur quotidien et sa capacité à aider le père à surmonter ses démons. Au milieu des épreuves, la mère met en avant des valeurs spirituelles à travers des chants qui renforcent l'idée d'espoir et de rédemption. Ce récit dépeint le combat d'une famille qui, malgré les tempêtes, s'accroche à l'amour et à la foi pour aller de l'avant.
