|
Oh, oh, yeah |
|
Yeah, oh my mercy |
|
Ooh, how I remember daddy |
|
He was strong and had |
|
A built in tan yeah |
|
And though he only stood |
|
About a five feet seven |
|
My daddy was a heck of a man |
|
Yes he was, y'all |
|
He loved us all and we knew it, yeah |
|
Though he showed it in a very funny way |
|
For most of the time |
|
He was a-cussin' and fussin' |
|
When he said what he had to say |
|
Now, now, now |
|
Daddy couldn't read |
|
Daddy couldn't write |
|
But one thing daddy sure could do right |
|
He could swear |
|
Oh, Lord, I declare |
|
Yes, he could, y'all |
|
Daddy could swear |
|
I declare, have mercy |
|
I still remember seein' him in the backyard |
|
Just a-pickin' and a-paintin' away |
|
Woo, woo, woo, woo |
|
Ooh, my brothers and sisters |
|
Still talk about how |
|
Daddy lost his temper that day |
|
You see, he built a picket fence |
|
From the garage to the house |
|
Well, Sam, tell me what I say |
|
The same day the garbage man |
|
Backed into the fence |
|
And the whole darn thing gave way |
|
You should have been there |
|
Daddy couldn't read |
|
Daddy couldn't write |
|
One thing daddy sure could do right |
|
He could swear |
|
Oh, Lord, I declare |
|
Yes, he could, y'all |
|
Daddy could swear |
|
Oh, Lord, I declare |
|
Yes, he could, y'all |
|
Tell 'em about |
|
Tell about your daddy |
|
My daddy was a bad mouth |
|
Watch ya say watch your mouth |
|
My daddy was a bad mouth |
|
Watch ya say watch your mouth |
|
My daddy was a bad mouth |
|
Watch ya say watch your mouth |
|
Oow |
|
Daddy wasn't no scholar, no |
|
No, he didn't have PHd |
|
But in my eyes and down in my heart |
|
My daddy means the world to me |
|
He'll probably go out |
|
(Talkin' about daddy) |
|
Cursin', just a-fussin' |
|
And a-bein' mad |
|
But I hope the Good Lord will understand |
|
That my daddy's is just bein' my dad |
|
Now, now, now, now |
|
Daddy couldn't read |
|
Daddy couldn't write |
|
But one thing daddy sure could do right |
|
He could swear |
|
Oh, Lord, I declare |
|
Yes he could, y'all |
|
Daddy could swear |
|
I declare |
