Chops

Chorus
Chops the little pony,
Goes dancing in the lea.
Sadie was his best friend,
And they played down by the sea.
She could take him anywhere,
When daddy came a callin’.
Chops would keep her nice and calm,
Cause daddy didn’t like her tears a fallin’.

Verse
Her mamma left him long ago,
She couldn’t handle more abuse.
But to leave her little girl behind,
There is simply no excuse.
Sadie came home after school,
And never went out to play.
She’d hide away in her bedroom,
And pray she’d be okay.

Verse
At first the visits were far and few,
But lately so much more.
She figured life was just this way,
When daddy closed and locked the door.
One day she thought she’ll move away,
And this will all be done.
But for now, I’ll just dream away,
Of me and Chops in the sun.

Chorus
Chops the little pony,
Goes dancing in the Lea.
Sadie was his best friend,
And they played down by the sea.
She could take him anywhere,
When daddy came a callin’.
Chops would keep her nice and calm,
Cause daddy didn’t like her tears a fallin’

Verse
One day the teacher noticed,
A little blood on Sadie’s seat.
She called her aunt and uncle,
And demanded that they meet.
I’ve known you my whole life,
This abuse has got to stop.
You need to talk to your brother,
Before I call the cops.

Bridge
The bedroom door flew open,
Sadie waited for the worst,
But then she felt a loving hand,
And noticed her uncle first.
Sadie, come live with us,
To a home that’s warm and safe.
Your daddy’s not coming back,
To this horrible wretched place.
Sadie looked at her uncle,
She didn’t have much to say.
Sadie, where your daddy is,
He’ll never see the light of day.

Chorus
Chops the little pony,
Goes dancing in the Lea.
Sadie was his best friend,
And they played down by the sea.
She could take him anywhere,
When daddy came a callin’.
Chops would keep her nice and calm,
Cause daddy didn’t like her tears a fallin’
