They Don't Make 'em Like My Daddy

In the style of

Loretta Lynn

Lyrics

i wasn't much more
than a baby
i thought he
was a bear
the way my daddy
carried me around

they said
i learned to walk
while holdin' on
to just one finger
on the hand of a man
that stands
six foot three

not old enough
to understand
the meaning
of depression
just somethin' people
talked about a lot

my daddy wasn't one
that tried to make
no big impression
just one
a-heck of a man
that worked for
what he got

they don't make men
like my daddy
anymore
guess they've
thrown away
the pattern
through the years

in a great big land
of freedom
at a time
we really need 'em
they don't make 'em
like my daddy
anymore

from the
johnson county
coal camps
to the hills
of west virginia

my daddy
worked down
in them dark
coal mines

education
didn't count so much
as what you had
borned in ya
like the will to live
and a dream
of better times

daddy never
took a handout
we ate pinto beans
and bacon
but he worked
to keep the wolf
back from the door

and it only proved
one thing to me
when folks start
bellyachin'
they don't make 'em
like my daddy
anymore

they don't make men
like my daddy
anymore
guess they've
thrown away
the pattern
through the years

in a great big
land of freedom
at a time
we really need 'em

they don't make 'em
like my daddy
anymore
they don't make 'em
like my daddy
anymore
