Daddy's Working Boots

(album: The Farmer - 1973)

I have many fond mem'ries of my daddy
One of the things I remember most was dad's hard work and his working boots

My poor hard working daddy worked his life away for us
That's the way my daddy showed to us his love
And daddy's two hard working hands were calloused and were sore
Daddy's working boots have walked a million miles or more

As long as I remember I remember daddy working
Working on the job or either on the farm
Trying to provide for the family that he loved
Daddy's working boots have taken many steps for us

Daddy's working boots, they served us his foundation
Just like him they're tired and worn for years they helped him stand
Daddy's working boots have filled their obligation
They walked that rocky road with a mighty mighty man

Dear Lord, above I know up there my daddy's got a mansion
And a great reward that long was overdue
And since my daddy's gone away to be with you in heaven
I know he's walking your golden streets in a pair of brand new golden boots

Daddy's working boots, they served us his foundation
Just like him they're tired and worn for years they helped him stand
Daddy's working boots have filled their obligation
They walked that rocky road with a mighty mighty man

My daddy's working boots
