Daddy’s Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Years ago, I knew a man He was my mother's biggest fan We used to walk beside the sea And he told me how life would be When I grew up to be a man (Oh!) [Verse 2] And years ago, we used to play He used to laugh when I ran away And if I fell and hurt my knee He would run to comfort me And the pain would go away [Verse 3] Years ago, I knew a boy He was his daddy's pride and joy, pride and joy But when the daddy went away It was such a rainy day That he brought out all his toys [Verse 4] And how the mother did explain Trying to take away the pain But he just couldn't understand That his father was not a man And it all was just a game [Verse 5] The years have passed and so have I Making it hard for me to cry And if and when I have a son Let it all be said and done Let the sadness pass him by [Outro] My old man is a good man He does the best that he can My old man is a good man He does the best that he can Your old man's not as good as my old man My old man's a heck of a lot better than your old man My old man and your old man...
