Kate Wolf

I Never Knew My Father

by Kate Wolf
Kate Wolf

Biography:

Kate Wolf (born Kathryn Louise Allen in San Francisco, California, USA) (January 27, 1942 – December 10, 1986) was an American folk singer and songwriter.

Wolf didn't get her recording career going until the mid-'70s, by which time she was well into her thirties. Prior to emerging as a solo artist, she had headed the band Wildwood Flower (who backed her on her first two albums), and organized folk concerts and festivals in Northern California. Very much a self-starter

Kate Wolf - I Never Knew My Father




INTRO: F C G C

F C
It was twenty-five years ago when I began my life
Am D G F
The second child of a woman who tried hard to raise us right
C E7 Am F
She married a man when I was just a babe
C G7 C F
Who treated me just like his own, even giving me his name


CHORUS:
C E7 Am F
I never knew my father, I only knew his name
G7 F
I never knew the way he moved
G7 F
How he talked, or what he said
C
Now I'm grown and mama says,
G7 C F C G C
"You're like your daddy, just the same"


F C
Sometimes I got to wondering, about this man I never knew
Am D G F
When I'd find myself into something, just the way he used to do
C E7 Am F
Heard stories all my life of how he loved to sing
C G7 C F
And how he would take apart and fix most anything


CHORUS:
C E7 Am F
I never knew my father, I only knew his name
G7 F
I never knew the way he moved
G7 F
How he talked, or what he said
C
Now I'm grown and mama says,
G7 C
"You're like your daddy, just the same"


INSTRUMENTAL: C F C Am D G F C E7 Am F C G7 C


F C
I can't say, that I don't care that he died before I was born
Am D G F
I get to asking why he did, and I'll probably ask some more
C E7 Am F
My life's been good and I can't say that I've had it bad
C G7 C F
But now I'm seeing years that my dad never had


CHORUS:
C E7 Am F
I never knew my father, I only knew his name
G7 F
I never knew the way he moved
G7 F
How he talked, or what he said
C
Now I'm grown and my mama says,
G7 C F C G C
"You're like your daddy, just the same"
