Song about our Dad and his childern (seven siblings)
Having fun after chores are done---if you'd like to do a version of the songs let me know---love to hear it
Story behind the song
A song about my Dad who followed a unwavering
Christian code and was mentor, friend,and teacher to all, and if you needed a shirt you would have gotten his if it was the last one he had.
Lyrics
And my daddy said, and my daddy led
When I was little lad my daddy says to me
Its probably time we did a talk about the birds and bees
The bees go on a bout their work and birds don’t have a care
So thank the Lord for giving us their lessons we can share
And as I grew, he kept me true
It ain’t about just money or how much you can make
You’ve need to learn that lifes long road requires give and take
So do save for a rainy day but lend a helpin hand
Remembering it’s no use to you up in God’s promised land
And my daddy was, and my daddy did
Bridge
My daddy stayed and he loved my mom
My daddy worked though the day was long
My daddy lived the chosen way
And ask the Lord to guide his day (Guitar solo)
And he raised a man with a guiding hand
Be sure you know if your wrastlin with a gator or a bear
Make sure and hold your children tight we’re short on love out there
Be sure to know to run or fight and when to make a stand
And when to draw that final line so clearly in the sand
And my daddy would and my daddy could
Bridge 2
And he always knew the wrong from right
He never missed a kiss good night
And he always showed the better way
The answers there so stop and pray
And my daddy said and my daddy led
I still recall his final words he clearly spoke me
I’m sure he stands at heavens gate and watches lovingly
He’d always give a knowing nod so you where you stood
“Never see some shades of gray just know you’re doing good.”
(slow) That was my Dad
