Every Beat Of My Heart / Friendship Train / If I Were Your Woman / Daddy Could Swear, I Declare / The Way We Were / Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye) / I've Got To Use My Imagination (Live) Lyrics

Oh, oh, yeah
Yeah, oh my mercy
Ooh, how I remember, daddy
He was young and had a built in tan yeah
And though he only stood about a five feet seven
My daddy was a heck of a man
Yes, he was, y'all
He loved us all and we knew it
Though he showed it in a very funny way
For most of the time
He was a cussin' and fussin'
When he said what he had to say
Now, now, now
Daddy couldn't read
Daddy couldn't write
But one thing daddy sure could do right
He could swear
Oh, Lord
I declare
Yes, he could, y'all
Daddy could swear, I declare
Have mercy
I still remember seein' him in the backyard
Just a-pickin' and a-paintin' away
Woo, woo, woo, woo
Ooh, my brothers and sisters still talk about how
Daddy lost his temper that day
You see, he built a picket fence from the garage to the house
Well, Sam, tell me what I say
The same day the garbage man backed into the fence
And the whole darn thing gave way
You should have been there
Daddy couldn't read
Daddy couldn't write
One thing daddy sure could do right
He could swear
Oh, Lord
I declare
Yes, he could, y'all
Daddy could swear, I declare
Yes, he could, y'all
Tell'em about
Tell about your daddy
My daddy was a bad mouth
Watch ya say, watch your mouth
My daddy was a bad mouth
Watch ya say, watch your mouth
My daddy was a bad mouth
Watch ya say, watch your mouth
Oow
Daddy wasn't no scholar, no
No, he didn't have PhD
But in my eyes and down in my heart
My daddy means the world to me
He'll probably go out
Talkin' about daddy
Cursin', just a-fussin'
And a-bein' mad
But I hope the good lord will understand
That daddy's is just bein' my dad
Daddy couldn't read
Daddy couldn't write
But one thing daddy sure could do right
He could swear
Oh, Lord
I declare
Yes he could, y'all
Daddy could swear, I declare
