tune: "Patches" (Clarence Carter)
My father was a drunk old man
I could see him with a bottle in his hand
He drowned a woman in a pond
Didn't think he did anything wrong
Didn't serve any time in jail
Got re-elected without fail
Oh, life's not easy for a Kennedy
The booze and the broads and the pills, you see
One night Daddy showed up when I was in bed
Poured himself a Chivas and in tears he said...
He said, Patches I'm depending on you son
To pull the family through
My son it's all left to you...
