Artist/Band: Coe David Allan Tabs
Song: Heavenly Father, Holy Mother Tab
David Allan Coe
Heavenly Father, Holy Mother
F Bb
If grandpa was alive right now
C F
Ain’t no tellin’ what he’d have to say
Bb
Why he had fifteen wives all living with him
C F
When he finally pasted away
Bb
And though I just got two now momma
Bb F
That’s enough to keep me satisfied
C
I haven’t had a son yet
Bb C F
But the good Lord knows the three of us have tried.
Pre-Chorus:
Bb C
Cause the Pennsylvania Dutch
Bb F
That we once spoke has been forgotten
Bb F C
And the Mormon way of life is almost gone
Bb C F C Bb
But now and then we gather down in Salt Lake City
Bb C F
To raise our voices in a joyful song.
Chorus:
F
And we sing:
Bb F
Heavenly Father, Holy Mother
Keeper of our children
C
Tiller of the land
F Bb
Take us to the river
F
In a horse and buggy
Give us our salvation
C F
Help us make our stand.
F Bb
No ma’am, I did go to see
C F
The reverend bring him young while I was there
And I’m sure glad to know you
Bb C F
Wanted him to mention my name in a pray
Bb
I hope he did not preach about
F
The young folks that refuse to make a change
C Bb
And if he did I’m sure I got a little more
C F
Than my share of the blame.
