Deliver Your Children
Paul McCartney
Well the rain was a-falling and the ground turned to mud I was watching all the people running from the flood So I started to prayin’ though I ain’t no prayin’ man for the Lord to come a helpin’ knowing he’d understand. Deliver your children to the good good life give ’em peace and shelter and a fork and knife shine a light in the morning and a light at night and if a thing goes wrong you’d better make it right. Well I had me a woman she was good and clean she spent all day with the washing machine but when it came to lovin’ she was never around she was out getting dirty --- all over town. Deliver your children to the good good life give ’em peace and shelter and a fork and knife shine a light in the morning and a light at night and if a thing goes wrong you’d better make it right. Well I was low on money and my truck broke down I was on my way to the lost and found so I took it to a dealer I said make it run well I ain’t got no money but I got me a gun. I said you robbed me before so I’m robbing you back and if it don’t put you straight it’ll put you on the right track well I ain’t no devil and I ain’t no saint but I can tell a dealer by the color of his paint. Deliver your children to the good good life give ’em peace and shelter and a fork and knife shine a light in the morning and a light at night and if a thing goes wrong you’d better make it right. If you want good eggs you gotta feed that hen and if you wanna hear some more well I’ll sing it again.
