lyrics

You don’t know what my daddy do (Wake)

You don’t know what my daddy do
You don’t know what my daddy do
You don’t know what my daddy do
You don’t know ’n I aint gonna tell you

When he takes me downtown people shake his hand
They look ’m in the eye and say you’re my man
They slap ’m on the back and say see you around
That’s what people do when we go downtown
Cause everybody knows he’s a man about town.

I aint never told ya ’bout my Uncle Joe
I aint never told ya ’bout my Uncle Joe
I aint never told ya ’bout my Uncle Joe
I aint gonna tell you so you’re never gonna know

My Uncle Joe aint nobody’s fool
He’s got a job you don’t learn in school
He’s got a scar on his shoulder and an eagle tattoo
Goes to Vegas in the winter for a month or two
But nobody knows what my Uncle Joe do

I ain’t never told ya bout my Uncle Bill.
I ain’t never told ya bout my Uncle Bill.
I ain’t never told ya bout my Uncle Bill.
I ain’t never told ya ’n I never will

He wears two-tone shoes and a Stetson hat
He’s got a Doberman Pinscher and a Siamese cat
He smokes fat cigars and he can wiggle his ears
He buys a brand new Cadillac every year
’n everybody knows
he’s a man to fear.
He’s a man to fear
He’s a man to fear
He’s a man to fear

about

Jim Wake & Sleepwalker image

Jim Wake & Sleepwalker Netherlands

Jim Wake and Sleepwalker, like the musical traditions in blues, rock ’n’ roll, and rhythm blues from which the band draws inspiration, is an experience defying easy description. It is music that swings, drives, bumps and grinds, moans and groans, screams and shouts, and then steps back and turns introspective, plaintive, or nostalgic. ... more
