cal smith - they don't make 'em like my daddy lyrics

[verse 1]
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 holding on to just one finger
on the hand of a man standing six foot three
not old enough to understand the meaning of depression
just something people talked about a lot
my daddy wasn’t one to try to make no big impressions
just one h+ll of a man that worked for what he got

[chorus]
they don’t make ’em like my daddy anymore
guess they’ve thrown away the pattern through the years
in this grеat big land of freedom, at a time we really need ‘еm
they don’t make ’em like my daddy anymore

[verse 2]
from the johnson county coal camps to the hills of west virginia
my daddy worked down in them dark coal mines
education didn’t count so much as what you had born in you
like the will to live and the dream of better times
daddy never took a handout, we ate pinto beans and bacon
but he worked to keep the wolf pack from the door
and it only proves one thing to me when folks start bellyaching
they don’t make ’em like my daddy anymore
[chorus]
they don’t make ’em like my daddy anymore
guess they’ve thrown away the pattern through the years
in this 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
