pearl jam - daddy could swear, i declare lyrics

[intro]
ooh, yeah
oh, yeah
woah!

[verse 1]
oh, i remember daddy
he was young and had a built in tan, yeah
and though he only stood about a+five foot seven
my daddy was a heck of a man, ooh, ooh, ooh
he loved this song and lead the way
though he’d sewed it in a very funny way, yeah
and most of the time he was a+cussin’ and fussin’
when he said, “only i can see,” yeah, yeah, yeah

[chorus]
daddy couldn’t read, daddy couldn’t write
one thing daddy sure could do right
he could swear, yeah, i declare
i said my daddy could swear, oh, i declare

[post+chorus]
oh! hey!
will you help me?

[verse 2]
i sat in my dress out in the back porch
my sister still talks about the day, ooh, ooh, ooh
the garbage a+man, he backed into the fist
and the whole d+mn thing gave way
you should have been there
[chorus]
daddy couldn’t read, daddy couldn’t write
one thing daddy sure could do right
he could swear, swear, i declare
i said my daddy could swear, oh, i declare
mmm, my daddy could swear, i declare

[post+chorus]
woo!

[bridge]
my daddy was a bad mouth, yeah
what ya say? watch ya mouth!
my daddy was a bad mouth, yeah
what ya say? watch ya mouth!
my daddy was a bad mouth, yeah
what ya say? watch ya mouth, motherf+cker!

[verse 3]
daddy wasn’t no scholar, no he didn’t have a phd
and most of the time he had his back to the wall
but my daddy meant the world to me, yeah
i said mama got depressed at night, he’d walk through the house
but my daddy, curse was all he had
a woke up with love, and he understands
that my daddy shouldn’t feel my back
[chorus]
daddy couldn’t read and daddy couldn’t write
one thing daddy sure could do right
he could swear, swear, i declare
ooh, my daddy could swear, i declare
hey!
woo!
oh, that’s right
[non+lyrical vocals]
i didn’t do it eddie, it was my sister maylene!
