This is a cover of Sir Lancelot's 
Shame and Scandal in the Family, 
originally written for the 1943 
movie
"I Walked with a Zombie", the lyrics
 have been rearranged by a number of
 artists over the years but the song
is largely unchanged and has since 
become an international classic.

Mike P's Version is a bit more 
acoustic oriented, and in turn makes
 for a great campfire jam. Let's go!

His papa said: "Son, I have to say 
no,
      C                            
This girl is your sister, but your

    G                     Bm
A week went by and the summer came 
'round
C                           D
Soon the best cook in the island he 
found
     G                   Bm
He went to his papa to name the day
     C                          D
His papa shook his head and to him 
did say
        G                         
"You can't marry this girl, I have 
Bm

He went to his mama and he held his 
head
     C                       D
And told his mama what his papa had 
said
     G                           
His mama she laughed, she say, "Go 
Bm
man, go
       C *                       
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but 
       D *
your daddy don't know."
