Daddy |
| His deeds were never published for the public |
| Things he did were never done for show |
| His name was never printed in the paper |
| Until about two days ago |
| He only filed a short form for his taxes |
| No one asked him how he felt about the war |
| He always had a good word for his neighbor |
| Now his good words won’t be heard anymore |
| And through the rain I heard the choir singing |
| (Nearer my God to Thee) |
| Through the mist I saw some children crying |
| And I felt nearer my God to Thee |
| (guitar) |
| His table was never full of plenty |
| His silverware was never the real thing |
| But the tears on the faces of his family |
| Were just as real as if he been a king |
| Preacher said he’d always been a good man |
| But preachers always throw that phrase around |
| But the tears I tasted gave his words new meaning |
| Watching old friends puttin' daddy in the ground |
| And through the rain I heard… |
