[Verse]
G G/F#
Well, the Miracle Man came to Lousian' selling potions from a jar
Em
He claimed he could cure anything from a fever to a scar
D C
And all the town folk gathered round to see
G C D
As he cast his spell of wonder over everyone but me
G G/F#
See, the Miracle Man was a Dapper Dan, full of eloquence and grace
Em
And I could tell his charm was working by that look on mama's face
D C
She was buying more than meets the eye
G C D
Because she left me and my daddy without even a goodbye
[Chorus]
D C G
And Daddy Cried, for forty days and forty nights
D C G
And so did I from the emptiness inside
Em C
No I wasn’t old enough to understand
G D G
Whatever happened to my mama and that Miracle Man
It was my daddy all along who was the Miracle Man
