Lambert, Miranda - My Father's Gun Lyrics






From this day on, I own my father's gun
We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun
I laid his broken body down, below the southern land
What I'd do to bury him where any Yankee stands
I'll take my horse and I'll ride the Northern plain
Wear the color of the grey's and join the fight again
I will not rest until I know the cause is fought and won
From this day on until I die, I'll wear my father's gun

I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans, well that's just fine, alright
'Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men
(Oh, woah)
Slip us a rope and sail around the bend

As soon as this is over, we'll go home
Plant the seeds of justice in our bones
We'll watch the children growing and see the women sewing
There'll be laughter there when the bells of freedom ring

I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans, well that's just fine, alright
'Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men
(Oh, woah)
Slip us a rope and sail around the bend
Oh, I'd like to know where the riverboat, riverboat sails tonight
I'd like to know where the riverboat, riverboat sails tonight
Mmm, I'd like to know where the riverboat, riverboat sails tonight
'Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men
(Oh, woah)
Slip us a rope and sail around the bend

    Comment #54 ❤️this song

  81. L.... H....

    Love your voice, Miranda. Love this song. 💕💕💕

  82. J.... B....

    This is great. She does a great job but i think its supposed to be "it wouldn't do to bury him where any yankee stands."

    J.... B....

    John Bungard I noticed that too. I wonder why in the world she changed that lyric.

    J.... B....

    John Bungard -- Yes. I was hoping I wasn't the only one who noticed. I can't tell if that was intentional or if she really misunderstood the lyrics. Hard to imagine it made it all the way through the process and absolutely no one caught it.

    J.... B....

    John Bungard could be here feelings, remember the hell she went through, but still amazing

  83. H.... ....

    Yes!!! FUCK YES!!!!!

  84. J.... R....

    Great, as always. From your #1 fan!!!!

  85. L.... K....

    She can sing anything 😍

  86. B.... S....

    Miranda, what an honor to be chosen to sing one of Elton John's songs! You always sing every song like an angel. Love this one.

  87. M.... ....

    Very good Miranda! This song makes quite a few different things come to mind. Will be interesting to see later if a full blown video is done what is in it. Thank You! :-)

    M.... ....

    @Ellyette Paige what the hell is the difference??
    Travis tritt back in the early 90s did the common thread country salutes the songs of the Eagles he did take it easy by the band members got together and shot some pool and have some fun didn't play any music and a couple years later hell froze over and they reunited..point was it's the same kind of a thing it wasn't his song either it was Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne song Take It easy...

    M.... ....

    @Trucker Kev The Paid Tourist Okay this is a year later and for one, I don't care anymore lol and for two, there still isn't a video so.

    M.... ....

    @eddie garza I'm from Ireland smartass, so actually it is shite not shit where I'm from. Anything else?

    M.... ....

    Actually I'm just gonna turn off any reply notifications because there's no sense arguing with those who have half a brain. Have a lovely day to you all.

    M.... ....

    @Ellyette Paige oh well..I get comments from stuff that I commented on six seven years ago..if you don't want notifications delete your original comment you won't have to worry about.
    I just got a notification on one of my uploads the other day from 3 years ago they liked it that's cool I'm glad and I said for appreciate it was a few years back but that's cool to hear nice to see that you saw it even though it's not current..

  88. M.... S....

    Love it💗
    This woman can do anything

  89. S.... ....

    WHAT A QUEEN

    CR Woods There is no video lol. It's just audio.

  94. C.... W....

    YOU'RE A LOT BETTER PERSON THAN GWEN EVER THOUGHT OF BEING

    C.... W....

    CR Woods That's rude. Why bring up Gwen? There's no sense in that.

    C.... W....

    This isn't a competition. I honestly like both anyway.

    C.... W....

    CR Woods don't this comment invites the flunkies who stalk every video
    To talk shit

    C.... W....

    Miranda has her own career that she work hard for and deserves. And it has nothing to do with you know who. There is no Comparison. 😀

  95. K.... M....
