They Don't Make 'em Like My Daddy 歌詞
They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy - Cal Smith
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 at six-foot-three
Not old enough to understand
The meaning of depression
Just something people
Talked about a lot
My daddy wasn't one
That tried to make no big impressions
Just one 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 hauled the timber for the mines
Education didn't count so much as
What you had born in you
Like the will to live and a dream
Of better times
Daddy never took a handout
We ate pinto beans a bacon
But he worked to keep the wolf
Back from the door
And it only proves one thing to me
When folks start belly achin'
They don't make 'em like
My daddy anymore
They don't make 'em 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
