42nd Son Lyrics by Blind Willie Deafman

The Best of Blind Willie Deafman

2013

[Verse 1]
When I was seventeen
You know I came around
I met a rich man
When he came to town
He put a comb in my pocket
And a guitar in my hand
He said, “you better lean that thing
And get out while you can”
[Chorus 1]
‘Cause I’m the favorite
Don’t pretend you don’t know my name
I am the forty-second son
Don’t pretend you don’t know my name
[Verse 2]
On the last street
On the edge of town
In the last house
Before the sun goes down
You can hear me coming
Half a mile ahead
And you know little one
That’s where I make my bed
[Chorus 2]
‘Cause I’m the favorite
Don’t pretend you don’t know my name
I’m the forty-second son
Don’t pretend you don’t know my name
[Chorus 3]
‘Cause I’m the favorite
Don’t pretend you don’t know my name
I’m the forty-second son
Don’t pretend you don’t know my name
[Verse 3]
On the tenth hour
Of the tenth day
Of the tenth month
The tenth son was born
They said I can’t hear
Might never see
But I know one thing's certain
Everyone's after me
[Chorus 4]
‘Cause I’m the favorite
Don’t pretend you don’t know my name
I’m the forty-second son
Don’t pretend you don’t know my name
