Mother Mother - Hayloft Lyrics
Hayloft Lyrics by Mother Mother
“Hayloft” is the eighth track on Mother Mother’s 2008 album O My Heart.
The track’s lyrics describe two “young lovers” caught having sex in the hayloft of a barn, and the ensuing rage of the father, who has brought his gun to investigate and intends to shoot his child’s lover, seemingly not because of the trespassing, but instead the fact that they’re having sex.
A hayloft is defined as “a loft over a stable or barn used for storing hay or straw.”
Hayloft Lyrics In English
[Chorus]
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
[Verse 1]
It started with the hayloft a-creakin'
Well, it just started in the hay (loft)
With his long-johns on, Pop went a-creeping
Out to the barn, up to the hay
Young lovers and they are not sleeping
Young lovers in the hay (loft)
With his gun turned on, Pop went a-creeping
Out to the barn, up to the hay (loft)
[Chorus]
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
[Post-Chorus]
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
[Chorus]
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
[Verse 2]
It started with the hayloft a-creakin'
Well, it just started in the hay
With his longjohns on, Pop went a-creeping
Out to the barn, up to the hay (loft)
Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots
Young lovers with their legs tied up in love
With his long, tall gun, Pop went a-creeping
To blow their hayloft bedheads straight off
[Chorus]
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
You better run
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
My daddy's got a gun
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
[Outro]
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ahh, yah, yah, yah
Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga
Ga-ga-ga-ga
