[Verse 1]
G C G C G I never knew my mother and the closest that I came C G C G Was a picture that my daddy showed to me D When he held it in two calloused hands G C And told me son don't cry G D G C G This is how the Lord intended things to be
[Verse 2]
G G7 Daddy told me mom grew weaker on the night that I was born C G C G How she suffered and the doctor didn't come D And when daddy told his Maker G C Lord if it be Thy will please take her G D G C G How the good Lord took his wife and gave a son
[Verse 3]
G G7 As a kid I watched my daddy carve a living from the land C G Then when nighttime came he held me on his knee D G C And prayed the Lord would let him live till I became a man G D C G My daddy loved this land the Lord and me
[Chorus]
