my dad was a big man with a will that was tough
|
He was at his best when the going was rough
|
He made a living for the family and never had to cheat
|
To keep food on the table and shoes on our feet
|
|
|
we sat down at the table and thanked god in prayer
|
Cause we had plenty to eat and plenty to wear
|
We had patches on our britches but momma kept us neat
|
We had food on the table and shoes on our feet
|
|
|
we picked the cotton and gathered the corn
|
We were taught to work from the day we were born
|
Mom and dad and all us children worked in the summer's heat
|
To keep food on the table and shoes on our feet
|
|
|
when you sit down at the table thank god in prayer
|
If you've got plenty to eat and plenty to wear
|
If you've got patches on your britches just be sure to keep em neat
|
If you've got food on the table and shoes on your feet
