Daddy's Working Boots

(Dolly Parton)



My dear hard workin' daddy works his life away for us

That's the way that daddy shows to us his love

And Daddy's two hard working hands, they're callous and they're sore

And Daddy's workin' boots have walked a million miles or more.



As long as I remember, I remember Daddy workin'

Workin' on the job or either on the farm

Tryin' to provide for the family that he loves

And Daddy's working boots have taken many steps for us.



Chorus:

Daddy's workin' boots have served as his foundation

Oh, just like him, they're tired and worn or years they've helped him stand

Daddy's working boots have filled their obligation

They've walked that rocky road with a mighty, mighty man.



--- Instrumental ---



Dear lord above, I know up there my Daddy's got a mansion

And a great reward that's long been overdue

And when it comes my Daddy's time to be with you in heaven

Spoken:

Won't cha let him walk your golden streets in a pair of brand new golden boots.



Chorus: Sang:

Daddy's workin' boots have served as his foundation

Oh, just like him, they're tired and worn or years they've helped him stand

Daddy's working boots have filled their obligation

They've walked that rocky road with a mighty, mighty man.



Daddy's workin' boots...
