Yeah ooh my mercy[00:00:11]
Oh how I remember daddy[00:00:15]
He was young and had a built in tan yeah[00:00:19]
And though he only stood about a five feet seven[00:00:23]
My daddy was a heck of a man yes he was y'all[00:00:26]
He loved us all and we knew it yeah[00:00:30]
Though he showed it in a very funny way[00:00:34]
For most of the time he was a cussin' and fussin'[00:00:38]
When he said what he had to say[00:00:41]
Na na na na na[00:00:44]
Daddy couldn't read daddy couldn't write[00:00:46]
But one thing daddy sure could do right[00:00:49]
He could swear[00:00:53]
Oh lord I declare[00:00:56]
Yes he could y'all[00:00:58]
Daddy could swear[00:01:00]
I declare ooh have mercy[00:01:04]
I still remember seein' him in the backyard[00:01:08]
Just a pickin' and a paintin' away[00:01:12]
Ooh my brothers and sisters still talk about[00:01:15]
How daddy lost his temper that day[00:01:19]
You see he built a picket fence from the garage to the house[00:01:23]
Well sam tell me what I say[00:01:27]
The same day the garbage man backed into the fence[00:01:31]
And the whole darn thing gave way[00:01:34]
You should have been there[00:01:37]
Daddy couldn't read daddy couldn't write[00:01:38]
One thing daddy sure could do right[00:01:43]
He could swear I declare[00:01:46]
Yes he could y'all[00:01:51]
