Daddy Was a God Fearin' Man - David Allan Coe
Used to go with my grandpa up to the town square

Set him down up there on a picnic
Bench and he used to play checkers
With them other old men up there

They used to tell stories bout when
They were kids Grandpa says he shot
The chief of police when he was nine years old

N' i believe him cause they tell me that hazard
Kentucky's the baldest place in the world

Why they say they used to sit out there
On there front porch shoot then revenuers when
They'd come down the hollow

Said they was so young took two o' them
Boys to hold the rifle and one to pull the trigger
Hymn Well grandpa he'd lie a little bit

But i'll tell you there's a lot of
Stories in harlan county

Yea folks in harlan county lord
They knew that we were poor

They always called my daddy preacher dan

But daddy weren't no preacher
Least ways i don't recollect

Never hear of poppa talk of nothing' but the land

And daddy was a god fearing' farmer yes he was

Could not read nor write lord
He could barley spell his name
Daddy was a god fearing' farmer all his life

Someday when i'm grown ill be the same

Well he always grew tobacco
Though he did not smoke himself

He had the best tobacco crop around

And he never touched a drop
Of liquor that i can recall

Papa made his living' on the ground

Yes sunday-go-to-meeting' called
For more than he could stand

I guess he felt at home in his old clothes

But he never missed a sunday
Taking momma to the church

Maybe it was habit lords but heaven only knows

And daddy was a god fearing' farmer yes he was

Could not read nor write lord
He could barley spell his name

Daddy was a god fearing' farmer all his life

Someday when i'm grown ill be the same

Yea folks in harlan county lord
They knew that we were poor

They always called my daddy preacher dan

But daddy weren't no preacher
Least ways i don't recollect

Never hear of grandpa talk of nothing' but the land

Daddy was a god fearing' farmer all his life

He could not read nor write lord
He could barley spell his name

Daddy was a god fearing' farmer yes he was

Someday when i'm grown ill be the same

Someday when i'm grown ill be the same

Someday when i'm grown ill be the same
