I REMEMBER WHEN MY DADDY WORKED ALL DAY
|
FOR JUST A DOLLAR AND HE NEVER SAVED A PENNY
|
BUT AT LEAST THE BILLS WERE PAYED
|
|
I NEVER SEEN A MAN WORKED HALF AS HARD
|
AND COME HOME HALF A TIRED THEN GIVE THE
|
LORD A TIP OF ALL HE MADED
|
|
CHORUS:
|
DADDY SAID I'M MAKING PAYMENT ON THE MANSION
|
AND SO MANY TIME HE TOLD ME THIS OLD WORLD
|
IS NOT HOME AND HE TOLD HE BEEN PROMISE HE RECEIVE
|
A FAIR REWARD DADDY DID THE BEST HE COULD
|
AND LEFT THE REST UP TO THE LORD
|
|
NOW I NEVER SEEN A MAN THAT HAD NO REASON FOR
|
COMPLAINING BUT HE SMILE AT ME EXPLAINING
|
HOW HE NEVER WALKED ALONE
|
|
WHEN THEY CALLED ME TO HIS DEATH BED I REMEMBER
|
HOW MY DADDY JUST LOOKED UP AND SMILE AND SAID I'M
|
GOING HOME
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS.
|
|
INSTRUMENTAL
|
|
SEEN MY DADDY LEFT THIS WORLD FOR ONE MUCH BETTER
|
I'VE BEEN WATCHING PEOPLE WORRYING MORE AND WORKING
|
FOR THINGS THEY CAN FORD
|
|
IN A WORLD THAT FILLED WITH PROBLEMS NO ONE
|
EVER FOUND THE ANSWERS TO THE THINGS MY DADDY
|
LEFT UP TO THE LORD
|
|
DADDY DID HIS BEST AND LEFT THE REST UP TO THE LORD
|
