Trial By Fire Lyrics

All night long papa would pray Give me strength for one more day Workin' like a dog in the dry sun Oh, nothin' to show, another day done The hellfire and misery Of a godforsaken man Is all Papa left to me All the legacy I have Trial by fire papa would say The good Lord gives and takes away The devil's own son he called me All he said I was I set out to be Mama broke down the day he died I carried him home and closed his eyes I showed no tears his only son Oh, nothin' to show another day done
