Makin’ Papa Proud (all rights Neil Cotton Nov. 04) Makin Papa proud Makin Papa proud The daughter he raised on his own is Makin Papa proud Before night has shed its veil Jill’s out the door and gone Grabs her hard-hat & lunch-box She’s on the job by dawn Papa taught her tractors The year Jill turned eighteen He thought, she'll learn some skills And I’ll keep her safe near me Makin Papa proud Makin Papa proud The daughter he raised on his own is Makin’ Papa proud ~B~ He couldn’t keep his darlin’ From the guys full time She found love had a child ...was Widowed by drunken pride She knows what she's gotta do Jill’s out the door and gone Grabs her hard-hat & lunch-box She’s on the job by dawn Jill runs front-end loaders And Cats for the highway crew Dust is flying she’s a survivor Doing what she’s gotta do....She's Makin’ Papa proud Makin’ Papa proud Raising a daughter on her own she’s Makin’ Papa proud Makin’ Papa proud Makin’ Papa proud The daughter he raised on his own is Makin’ Papa proud Raising a daughter on her own she’s Makin’ Papa proud Contact: Neil Cotton 905-873-2637 cottonneil@hotmail.com
