Sins Of My Father

My sons, keep them
Please forgive me

Whoa, now, I think this woman went and put a hex on me
Whoa, now, why'd I let her go and put that sex on me?
Whoa, now, I probably shouldn't have watched that girl undress for me
Ooh, the scent of her perfume in the air
Got it feeling different in here, yeah

She took my breath away
On to some fancy ship
Into another place
Such an expensive trip
But she didn't make me pay for it with my money, oh

It's the sins of my father
He left a debt to his son
To pay the the girl who's a mother
Collector won't let me run, no
But she didn't make me pay for it with my money
I paid for the sins of my father

Oh, now, she's speaking in a tongue that sounds new to me
Oh, now, momma told me what this could do to me
Oh, now, wouldn't fall for something like this usually, no, no
Tell me how could I ever prepare
If my papa never was there? (Oh)

She took my breath away
On to some fancy ship
Into another place
Such an expensive trip
But she didn't make me pay for it with my money, oh

It's the sins of my father
He left a debt to his son
To pay the the girl who's a mother
Collector won't let me run, no
But she didn't make me pay for it with my money
I paid for the sins of my father

(Father)
Hurt me, please me, yeah (father)
No, I don't deserve a debt that came with my birth
No, why have I been pretending this is something that that man come up with?
I'm praying I can reverse this curse

It's the sins of my father
He left a debt to his son
To pay the the girl who's a mother
Collector won't let me run, no, hey
But she didn't make me pay for it with my money
I paid for the sins of my father
