GRANDADDY

KNEW A LOT ABOUT LOVING AND FEELING

I SANG FOR THIS MAN WITH CALLOUSED HANDS

AND A SMILE THAT KEPT ON BEAMING

AN OLD BROWN CAP AND HAIR SILVER WHITE

EVERYTHING I BELIEVED IN

NEVER WANTED TO SAY GOODBYE,

I NEVER WANTED TO LEAVE HIM

HE WAS BLACK UNDER THE EYES

FACE ALL WEATHERED AND WISE

HE HAD A HEART OF GOLD WITH AN ANGEL’S SOUL

AND A COAL MINER’S LIFE

KIND GENTLEMAN,

YOUR LOVE WAS THE REASON FOR LIVING

THE RICHES OF LIFE PAST YOU BY

BUT YOU WERE THANKFUL FOR WHAT WAS GIVEN

YOU WERE BLACK UNDER THE EYES

FACE ALL WEATHERED BUT WISE

HE HAD A HEART OF GOLD WITH AN ANGEL’S SOUL

AND A COAL MINER’S LIFE

BREAK

WORKING IN THE MINE

LORD IT MAKES YOU ACHE TO THE BONE

A MAN GROWS OLD RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES

HE FIGHTS FOR HIS LIFE THEN HE’S GONE

LIKE THAT DEVIL COAL

THERE’S A STONE THAT MARKS WHERE HE’S LYING

BUT THEY CAN’T TAKE AWAY MY CHILDHOOD DAYS

AND THE JOY I KNEW BESIDE HIM
