Just a nasty kinda blues.
This page is a place to put songs I write for the 2002 50 songs in 90 day challenge.
Story behind the song
Well, everyone else was writing a Bacon Tree song, so I decided to, too.
Lyrics
My daddy swore he’d bring home the bacon
From the bacon tree
Yeah, my daddy swore he’d bring home the bacon
From the bacon tree
He said we’d have a party
That he’d throw just for me
But my daddy was always easily distracted
He smacked his head a lot
Yeah, my daddy was easily distracted
He smacked his head a lot
Now matter how much I reminded him
That SOB always forgot
So I went to live with my momma
And her new girlfriend
I went to live with my momma
And her new girlfriend
They taught me that lying bout bacon
Was the curse of all men
One day, daddy got visitation
And he actually showed up
Daddy, he got visitation
And he actually showed up
And he brought me a piece of bacon
In a chipped coffee cup
Several years later, when I was full grown
I got me a little girl
Yeah, when I was full grown
I got me a little girl
She had freckles on her nose
And a head of tiny red curls
I swore I would bring home the bacon
From the bacon tree
Lord, I swore I would bring home the bacon
From the bacon tree
And we was going to have a grand party
That little red headed girl and me
But being like my daddy
Was the last thing I wanted to do
Yeah, being like my daddy
Was the last thing I wanted to do
When I told my girl I was bringing home the bacon
I was telling the truth
Yeah, baby, I was telling the truth
And I got some bacon for you
Yeah, baby, I was telling the truth
And I got some bacon for you
Brought some bacon from the bacon tree
Home for you
