Daddy Was An Old Man

CHORUS
Daddy was an old man the day that I was born
He was even older when my brother came along
Born before the airplane the car & telephone
Daddy was an old man and the railroad was his home

Daddy met a pretty girl and he courted her by train
Two hours just to see her and two hours home again
They took the train to Macon, the day he took her hand
He took her home to be his wife, the wife of a railroad man

CHORUS

The railroad kept us moving to several little towns

But Daddy wasn't home much, his job was railroad bound
When he was he told us stories of life upon the rail
Mama kept us grounded church on Sunday without fail

CHORUS

His boys just kept on growing. One died in Vietnam.
Daddy met him at the gates, by that time he was gone.
For all the years between us, And all the years we had
He taught me how to be a man. I'm proud he was my Dad

CHORUS
