lyrics

(slow, slow)

The young boys want it big and want it now
Big car, big chain, big everything, and how
My father played one guitar forty years
And died with nothing owed and no arrears

Slow, slow (slow)
Slow money, slow, slow
It comes like the rain comes
Slow

Slow slow slow slow
Everything that stayed with me came slow slow
Slow slow slow slow
Fast money finds the door, it doesn't know

My son bought a red guitar with a thick cable
He played it loud and badly for a month
And I said nothing, which took forty years to learn
And in month two he asked me one small question

(solo palm wine guitar, 8 bars)
My father said nothing to me for a whole year.
I thought he did not care. He was waiting.
Now I am waiting. It is the hardest thing I do.
(HORNS RETURN, WARM)

Slow slow slow slow
Everything that stayed with me came slow slow
Slow slow slow slow
Fast money finds the door, it doesn't know

(slow money...)
