“My Father’s Gun” is a song by Elton John with lyrics by Bernie Taupin. It is the fifth track on his third studio album, Tumbleweed Connection.[1] The song tells the story of a young Confederate whose father has just been killed during the American Civil War. After burying his father in the South, he takes up his father’s gun and goes off to rejoin the fighting, longing for a future after the victory of their cause. According to Elton, this was one of Bob Dylan‘s favorites when they first met in 1970. In live performances, it was an extended ballad. John played the song in the same set as what became the 17-11-70 live album, though it has not been performed in concert since.
It is one my favorite songs by Elton John. What’s yours?
