[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
