Daddy Was a God Fearin' Man - David Allan Coe[00:00:00]

Used to go with my grandpa up to the town square [00:00:06]

Set him down up there on a picnic[00:00:11]

Bench and he used to play checkers[00:00:12]

With them other old men up there [00:00:14]

They used to tell stories bout when[00:00:18]

They were kids Grandpa says he shot[00:00:19]

The chief of police when he was nine years old [00:00:26]

N' i believe him cause they tell me that hazard [00:00:35]

Kentucky's the baldest place in the world [00:00:40]

Why they say they used to sit out there[00:00:45]

On there front porch shoot then revenuers when[00:00:47]

They'd come down the hollow [00:00:51]

Said they was so young took two o' them[00:00:55]

Boys to hold the rifle and one to pull the trigger [00:00:58]

Hymn Well grandpa he'd lie a little bit [00:01:01]

But i'll tell you there's a lot of[00:01:10]

Stories in harlan county [00:01:14]

Yea folks in harlan county lord [00:01:19]

They knew that we were poor[00:01:22]

They always called my daddy preacher dan[00:01:25]

But daddy weren't no preacher [00:01:29]

Least ways i don't recollect[00:01:31]

Never hear of poppa talk of nothing' but the land[00:01:34]

And daddy was a god fearing' farmer yes he was[00:01:39]

Could not read nor write lord [00:01:44]

He could barley spell his name[00:01:46]

Daddy was a god fearing' farmer all his life[00:01:48]

Someday when im grown ill be the same [00:01:53]

Well he always grew tobacco[00:01:58]

Though he did not smoke himself[00:01:59]

He had the best tobacco crop around[00:02:02]

And he never touched a drop[00:02:07]

Of liquor that i can recall[00:02:09]

Papa made his living' on the ground [00:02:12]

Yes sunday-go-to-meeting' called[00:02:16]

For more than he could stand[00:02:19]

I guess he felt at home in his old clothes[00:02:21]

But he never missed a sunday[00:02:26]

Taking momma to the church[00:02:28]

Maybe it was habit lords but heaven only knows[00:02:30]

And daddy was a god fearing' farmer yes he was[00:02:35]

Could not read nor write lord [00:02:40]

He could barley spell his name[00:02:42]

Daddy was a god fearing' farmer all his life[00:02:44]

Someday when i'm grown ill be the same [00:02:49]

Yea folks in harlan county lord [00:03:13]

They knew that we were poor[00:03:15]

They always called my daddy preacher dan[00:03:17]

But daddy weren't no preacher [00:03:22]

Least ways i don't recollect[00:03:24]

Never hear of grandpa talk of nothing' but the land[00:03:27]

Daddy was a god fearing' farmer all his life[00:03:32]

He could not read nor write lord [00:03:36]

He could barley spell his name[00:03:38]

Daddy was a god fearing' farmer yes he was[00:03:41]

Someday when i'm grown ill be the same [00:03:45]

Someday when i'm grown ill be the same [00:03:50]

Someday when i'm grown ill be the same[00:03:55]
