Some shatter glass with drunken might,
Some here, a wrist in cruelest plight.
Some lock eyes, a tender gleam,
Some break hearts, a broken dream.
Oh Father, my Father, Oh Father, my Father,
Oh Father, my Father, Oh Father, my Father,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My tale, it will not leave its trace,
My tale, it will not leave its trace.
Oh Father, my Father, Oh Father, my Father,
Oh Father, my Father, Oh Father, my Father,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My tale, it will not leave its trace,
My youth, it will not cease to chase.

Thieves I’d send to lockup's hold,
With a glance, drive the mad to cold.
Repent, I cry, for youth's dark fear,
I dare not venture, nowhere near.
My hues now bloom, a bitter crop,
Oh Father, my Father, Oh Father, my Father,
Oh Father, my Father, Oh Father, my Father,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My tale, it will not leave its trace,
Oh Father, my Father, Oh Father, my Father,
Oh Father, my Father, Oh Father, my Father,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My tale, it will not leave its trace,
My youth, it will not cease to chase.

A dream, I’d hide within my gaze,
A pain, I’d lock in heart's maze.
This bane, how can I keep it veiled,
My plight, to whom can it be hailed?
Forward I stride, it swiftly runs,
Oh Father, my Father, Oh Father, my Father,
Oh Father, my Father, Oh Father, my Father,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My tale, it will not leave its trace,
Oh Father, my Father, Oh Father, my Father,
Oh Father, my Father, Oh Father, my Father,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My youth, it will not cease to chase,
My tale, it will not leave its trace,
My youth, it will not cease to chase.
