They were living in East St Louis, High Dad
                                       
We were all playing music in the parlor

He'd come in late after working in the stock yards
     C      D7    G
High Dad In The Morning

Douglas and I had been up all night picking our banjos
When we oughter been asleep
High Dad.....
We'd drop off about the time he'd come in...High Dad

He'd wake us up, get his fiddle
We'd get out banjos, facing each other with him in the middle
We'd pick just as loud and hard as we could
He played some tunes, and a whole bunch of others,
High Dad.....

Then he'd look at us with eyes big as dinner plates
He'd be so exicted
He's say, boys we been playing notes that's never been played before...Yeah...
