Story behind the song
Daddy worked in those hard old coal mines for many years.Although still alive,this song is my tribute to my hero.
Lyrics
V 1 DADDY WAS A HARD WORKING MAN MADE A LIVING WITH HIS HANDS DIGGING IN THE COAL MINES HE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO PLAY WITH HIS CHILDREN FOR HE HAD TO MAKE A LIVING TO MAKE SURE THEY HAD FOOD TO EAT HE WORKED HARD ALL HIS LIFE V 2 I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS FIVE HE WAS A HERO IN MY EYES ONE DAY I ASKED MY DADDY IF HE WOULD PLAY WITH ME I STILL REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID AS HE HUNG DOWN HIS HEAD HE SAID HONEY I'LL BE LATE FOR WORK I'LL PLAY TOMORROW,YOU WILL SEE SPOKEN: BUT YA KNOW,THAT TOMORROW NEVER GOT HERE FOR ME OR DADDY THAT NIGHT THE TOP COLLAPSED AND DADDY AND FIVE MORE NEVER CAME HOME FROM THE MINE. I CAN REMEMBER STANDING THIER ON THE FRONT PORCH WAITING FOR THE OLD TRUCK TO PULL UP,AND DADDY WOULD ALWAYS GET OUT AND GIVE ALL US KIDS A BIG SMILE.FUNNY,BUT EVEN NOW AS A GROWN MAN,I STILL CAN SEE HIM IN MY MIND...AND DADDY IF YOU CAN HEAR ME UP THIER...I AIN'T FIVE YEARS OLD ANYMORE...BUT YOU ARE STILL A HERO IN MY EYES... REPEAT FIRST VERSE: DADDY WAS A HARD WORKING MAN MADE A LIVING WITH HIS HANDS DIGGING IN THE COAL MINES HE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO PLAY WITH HIS CHILDREN FOR HE HAD TO MAKE A LIVING TO MAKE SURE THEY HAD FOOD TO EAT HE WORKED HARD ALL HIS LIFE....... FADE.DADDY WAS A HARD WORKING MAN..MADE A LIVING WITH HIS HANDS..
