My daddy was



My daddy was a man

You could not play for a fool

He was hard but lovin'

Guess he was just ol' school

We knew his heart was achin'

But it was not for breakin'

That's the kind of man

My daddy was


He raised us in the cabin

Alone when  Momma  died

He was devastated

But he  never turned aside

We didn't have  much money

But He was always sunny

That's the kind of man

My daddy was



My daddy was a man

He defined the word

He might be gone

But he's still heard


He worked twenty four seven

Makin' sure that we could eat

Had clothes to keep us warm

Shoe leather on our feet


Standin' by his graveside

In the fall of  '83

Two full grown men

Each with his family

Harkin' back to good times

He saw that we led good lives

That's the kind of man

My daddy was
