The Piano Lesson
`` If my daddy had seen where he could have traded that piano in for some land of his own , it would n't be sitting up here now . He spent his whole life farming on somebody else 's land . I ai n't gon na do that . See , he could n't do no better . When he come along he ai n't had nothing he could build on . His daddy ai n't had nothing to give him . The only thing my daddy had to give me was that piano . And he died over giving me that . I ai n't gon na let it sit up there and rot without trying to do something with it . ''
