about

This song is a work of fiction. My Dad was a stand up guy. But dads can be hard to figure out.

lyrics

My Daddy was a conman
He took your money and then he was gone man

Daddy'd sell you real estate
Front prime land at the bottom of a lake
By the time you saw that you'd been had
He was living in another state
Or under another alias
Oh yeah my Daddy was the best
And though I never knew his given name
I know my Daddy loved me just the same

My Daddy was a conman
Now he's gone to the great beyond man

Dad had inside information
The one's he supplied, they had to be patient
Keep your mouths shut; keep your money in
The dumb marks never saw him again
Dad made us promise not to scam
Deep down he knew we couldn't do it good as him
Now I'm trading ones for tens
Oh Dad I'm in the confidence

I had my dreams
Now I'm working quick change schemes
Booking players, shaving points
Daddy'd be so disappointed

My Daddy was a conman
He's a confidence man
