Color Him Father Lyrics


There's a man at my house he's so big and strong
He goes to work each day, stays all day long
He comes home each night looking tired and beat
He sits down at the dinner table and has a bite to eat
Never a frown always a smile
When he says to me how's my child
I've been studying hard all day in school
Tryin' to understand the golden rule
Think I'll color this man father
I think I'll color him love
Said I'm gonna color him father
I think I'll color the man love, yes I will
He says education is the thing if you want to compete
Because without it son, life ain't very sweet
I love this man I don't know why
Jexcept I'll need his strength till the day that I die

My mother loves him and I can tell
By the way she looks at him when he holds my little sister nell
I heard her say just the other day
That if it hadn't been for him she wouldn't have found her way
My real old man he got killed in the war
And she knows she and seven kids couldn't of got very far
She said she thought that she could never love again
And then there he stood with that big wide grin
He married my mother and he took us in
And now we belong to the nman with that big wide grin
Think I'll color this man father
I think I'll color him love
Said I'm gonna color him father
I think I'll color the man love, yes I will

The Winstons are a funk and soul music outfit from the 1960s who are most notable for recording a track called "Amen, Brother" (a B-side to the single "Color Him Father" edited in 1969). "Amen, Brother" is probably the most sampled record of all time. Midway through the track there is a drum solo which contains the "Amen break" which has been sampled and used in thousands of hip-hop, drum and bass and jungle tracks. The Winstons were: * G.C. Coleman (vocals, drums)
* Richard Spencer (lead vocals, tenor saxophone)
