Reynolds: Song Lyrics and Poems
Untitled
Notes: by Malvina
Reynolds; copyright 1967 by the author. From page 88 of the collection
"Inscriptions on a Ginger Jar," printed in the songbook The
Muse of Parker Street.
I want to kneel at my Father's feet
And lay my burdens there,
Though I know I'll have to pick them up
And carry them everywhere.
I want to kneel at my Father's feet
Though I know he doesn't exist,
But I need somebody to holler to
When I feel my Father's fist.
