Testo Daddy - Red Sovine
Testo della canzone Daddy (Red Sovine), tratta dall'album Country Sunrise
Today I've been counting the many
Blessings in the family my dad raised
All the love we shared through the
Years has come back to me in many ways
And today my mind flashed back to my childhood days
I recall my first day of school and how much it hurt my dad
To see me start off in patched up blue jeans
But dad today that's the style, my boy won't go anywhere
Without his patched up jeans, they're old and faded
And they look like they've never been cleaned
And I remember Sunday school and how I'd get mad when you'd make me go
But now I can see why that was so important to you
Because we prayed together and we stayed together
Now my dad was a man that knew his own mind
And I remember when he'd call us all together
And he'd say "Family, it's loving time"
His world was built around mom and the four kids they raised
And I can still see the smile that always came on mama's face
Each time dad would say the table grace
The house was filled with lots of noise but when we got too loud
Dad would always say "Oh those devilish boys"
There was three of us, the fourth was a girl
Well you know dad had a choice, a favorite that is
But he'd say I love one just as much as I love the other
"Oh would you look at her, she looks just like her mother"
I've heard a lot of other people talk about my dad
And talk about the things that he'd done when he was young
'Cause I might be a little bit prejudiced
But he was the best in the county
When it came to a contest in games because he could out run
Out box, out shoot any of the professionals that came to town
Now my dad was a good man and his family came first
And he did his best for us and I know sometimes he worked till it hurt
The depression wasn't an easy time
A dollar a day was the pay back then
And I remember my dad leaving the house before daybreak
And walking 14 miles to get to work without being late
Oh I guess everyone remembers the good times and the bad
Good times were happy, bad times were sad
And when I'd do something wrong he'd straighten me out
With his hand or a belt out behind the house
But now mama didn't raise her voice or fuss when we'd get out of hand
She'd just say "Now that's enough" and if we didn't obey
She'd tell dad what was wrong and
Without a question dad would lay it on
While we picked cotton, chopped cotton, stacked hay, pulled corn
Well that's the way we made our living back then on the farm
But things are different now 'cause
It's like a new world we're living in
Everything's a mad rush, not enough time for friends
And when I think of my dad it makes me proud you see
'Cause he gave so much of himself to make life easier for me
Now not everyone is as lucky as I am to have a father
Who wanted the best for me out of life
And now when I hear a church bell chime
It's almost like my dad saying "Family, it's loving time"
So why don't you go to your dad right now and tell him you love him
And I'll bet you a dollar against a dog biscuit
That it will mean more to him than any gift that money could ever buy
'Cause you know you can't ever repay
Him for all the things he's done for you
And the best way I know to let him know is just say "Daddy I love you"
