Tania Elizabeth on the fiddle, and stomp boards and rattle !- they were just here in Sisters this month. I got a chance to talk to Mary. What a deep soul! She got standing ovations the two times I saw her.
I saw Mary at the Winnipeg Folk Festival many years back and she did this song several times on various stages. It just killed me every time. Great song, Ms. Gauthier.
He'd get home at 5:30 Fix his drink, sit down in his chair Pick a fight with mama Complain about us kids getting in his hair At night he'd sit 'lone and smoke I'd see his frown behind his lighter's flame Now that same frown's in my mirror I got my daddy's blood inside my veins Fish swim, birds fly Daddies yell, mamas cry Old men sit and think I drink Chicken, TV, dinner 6 minutes on defrost, 3 on high Beer to wash it down with then another A little whiskey on the side It's not so bad alone here It don't bother me that every night's the same I don't need another lover Hanging 'round, trying to make me change Fish swim, birds fly Lovers leave by and by Old men sit and think I drink I know what I am But I don't give a damn Fish swim, birds fly Daddies yell, mamas cry Old men sit and think I drink

I’m gettin tipsy just listenin’ !
Great tune
brillant mary said it in one a very complex theme
He'd get home at 5:30
Fix his drink, sit down in his chair
Pick a fight with mama
Complain about us kids getting in his hair
At night he'd sit 'lone and smoke
I'd see his frown behind his lighter's flame
Now that same frown's in my mirror
I got my daddy's blood inside my veins
Fish swim, birds fly
Daddies yell, mamas cry
Old men sit and think
I drink
Chicken, TV, dinner
6 minutes on defrost, 3 on high
Beer to wash it down with then another
A little whiskey on the side
It's not so bad alone here
It don't bother me that every night's the same
I don't need another lover
Hanging 'round, trying to make me change
Fish swim, birds fly
Lovers leave by and by
Old men sit and think
I drink
I know what I am
But I don't give a damn
Fish swim, birds fly
Daddies yell, mamas cry
Old men sit and think
I drink
we in wa2d both relate.
great song.
Great joy

Beautiful, sad song. Somehow, some artists succeed in spite of their miserable, hard drinkin fathers....elvis, cash, gauthier....
boy Lady I allow u to sing one of my songs - only on tho - get it for free a burger one time!
cant believe i give away a song lol
Oh shit...
Sweet as a nut.
Is that fiddle player just learning?
Listen to a few more songs from this session. She knows how to play that viola.
Are you just learning how to listen?
She’s been drankin’... Well played ladies.
Go listen to a few Duhks albums with Tania Elizabeth playing violin and then see if you still think that is an appropriate question.
