| [00:00.74] |
He wore starched white shirts, |
| [00:03.42] |
buttoned at the neck |
| [00:05.68] |
And he'd sit in the shade, |
| [00:07.67] |
and watch the chickens peck |
| [00:10.80] |
And his teeth were gone, |
| [00:13.42] |
but what the heck |
| [00:16.30] |
I thought, that he walked, |
| [00:21.42] |
on water |
| [00:26.80] |
Said he was a cowboy, |
| [00:29.42] |
when he was young |
| [00:31.74] |
He could handle a rope, |
| [00:34.24] |
and he was good with a gun |
| [00:37.30] |
And my mama's daddy was his oldest son |
| [00:42.43] |
And I thought, that he walked, |
| [00:47.49] |
on water |
| [00:51.11] |
And if the story's told, |
| [00:56.30] |
only heaven knows |
| [01:01.80] |
But his hat seemed to me, |
| [01:06.61] |
like an old halo |
| [01:12.18] |
And though his wings, |
| [01:17.05] |
they were never seen |
| [01:24.18] |
I thought, that he walked, |
| [01:29.24] |
on water |
| [01:34.74] |
Well he tied a cord, |
| [01:36.99] |
to the end of a mop |
| [01:39.43] |
And said "Son, here's a pony, |
| [01:42.36] |
keep her at a trot." |
| [01:45.11] |
And I'd ride in circles, |
| [01:46.81] |
while he laughed a lot |
| [01:50.18] |
Then I'd flop down, |
| [01:52.24] |
beside him |
| [01:55.36] |
And he was ninety years old in sixty-three |
| [02:00.74] |
And I loved him and he loved me |
| [02:05.99] |
And Lord, I cried the day he died |
| [02:10.80] |
'Cause I thought, that he walked, on water |
| [02:19.68] |
And if the story's told, |
| [02:24.93] |
only heaven knows |
| [02:30.49] |
But his hat seemed to me, |
| [02:35.37] |
like an old halo |
| [02:40.93] |
And though his wings, |
| [02:45.68] |
they were never seen |
| [02:52.99] |
I thought, that he walked, |
| [02:57.87] |
on water |
| [03:03.37] |
I thought, that he walked, |
| [03:10.05] |
on water |
