My dad was from a poor family
G
D
G
an d as a little kid
he hopped over the fence
of the golf course

and somehow learned to play the game.
G
D
G
15 years old he became the
assistant professional
at the Jewish Country Club
in Scarsdale, Sunningdale Country Club.
16 years he was a co -head pro.
He played in some tournaments
but for his back so he was relegated
D
G
to be a teaching club pro.
and he made a living for his family.
G
It wasn't a big living, but it was good.
It was not a glamorous job
G
It was just almost like being the
locker room attendant
or something like that.
Job with dignity,
but you serviced the members and stuff.
D
G
Later on, after many years of doing that
In the wintertime, in New York,
it was cold,
D
G
so one of the members set him up with
D
G
a teaching job in St. Croix.
That was wonderful.
D
G
Didn't pay much, but Mom
and Dad got a month vacation.
When I was a senior in high school,
my brothers were off to college.
I was there by myself
when they were in St. Croix.
D
At that period of time,
G
C
I was into my gambling things a little bit,
G
and I knew all the local
underground folks
who did the gambling stuff.
Most of them were Mafia guys,
they were great guys.
So I decided I was going to have a big party
over at my mom and my folks' house,
invited all those boys over,
D
G
and the young pretty high school girls in the neighborhood,
they they served the whiskey
and they served the food
and had a great time
D
G
and there was all these Cadillacs
parked around the house
in the neighborhood
and one of the guys sang opera
that afternoon,
D
G
was great. My mom and dad got home,
my dad said, Jamie,
I heard you had a party
here at the house.
He said, I heard there were
Cadillacs
lined around the block.
I said, yeah.
Em
G
He said, I heard somebody
was singing opera.
I said, yep.
He said, damn.
D
G
I wish I was here.
D
I could have been a dreamer,
Em
C
well, I guess I still am.
G
D
A storytelling schemer
Em
C
who made him some big plans
G
D
By getting all the bad guys
Em
C
to listen to the good bands
G
D
Come over to my folks' house
Em
C
to my barbecue slam jam
D
G
C
and opera on the other hand
G
D
G
Oh, what would I do without horses?
D
Em
What would I do without horses,
G

What would I do without horses
