Loretta Lynn
GI wasn't much more than a baby, I thought he was a bear,
ThDe Way my Daddy carried me a round.
They said I learned to walk
While holding on to just one finger,
OnG the hand of a man that's standin' six foot, three.
Not old enough to understand the meaning of depression:.
JuDst somethin' people talk about a lot.
My Daddy wasn't one to try to make no big impression,
JuGst one heck of a man that worked for what he'd got.
(Chorus)
ThCey don't make 'em like my Daddy any more.
GuGessD they've thrown away the pattern through the years.
And in the great big land of freedom,
I know that we really need 'em:
ThGey don't make 'em like my Daddy any more.
From the Johnson County court house
To the hills of West Virginia,
MyD Daddy worked down in them dark cold mines.
Education didn't count so much as what you had for mem'u
LiGke the will to live an' a dream of better times.
Daddy never took a hand out; we ate pinto beans and bacon,
BuDt he worked to keep the wolf back from the d oor.
And it only proves one thing to me,
When folks start bellyaching:
ThGey don't make 'em like my Daddy any more.
Repeat Chorus
