Story behind the song
Once in a great while incest will surface and causes grief for everyone involved. However, because of the embarassment to family and the offspring, it seldom makes the news. The thought of someone living this lie drove me to tears. How do you keep this secret from your baby or potential husband? How it affects a single mother singing at night and waitressing during the day to make to make ends meet?
Lyrics
Heard rumors about you --had a good show there were things about you--no one would know-- still everyone loved you-baby but you- A baby at thirteen-shamey shame on you- daddy loved his children in ways that wont do-- still everyone loved you--baby but you-- Put on a pretty face-sing all night long-- on your feet all day-like nothings goin on-- one and only child-she'll learn someday-- that she was just a baby when her daddy passed away. A daughter a sister-tears that wont cry- you sit and whisper-God please let me die-- but no one would love her- Baby like you-- The years pass on by-she'll marry some day-- then you'll be lonely when the pain goes away-- and someone will love her-baby like you-- A daughter a sister-tears that don't cry a daughter a sister-blood on a lie- a daughter a sister-baby that's you--
