He Did

Capo II Love you, love you, love you He did, he did, he did He stood high above you You were just a little kid Your daddy was a farmer His back was burnished red and gold And every time he closed his eyes a rooster crowed He sowed a hundred rows of corn The summer you were born And wondered what your life would yield How it fe-e-e-e-els to be a child of his, how it fe-e-e-e-els Your daddy was a builder He swung his hammer brown and silver Every time he closed his eyes a nail was drove And you were always underfoot Like a splinter in the wood He couldn't pull you from his heels How it fe-e-e-e-els, how it feels Love you, love you, love you Dus4 He did, he did, he did He stood high above you Sky around his head Sawdust in his hair A scarecrow of a man He couldn't dra-a-w you near to him Aaaaaaah-aah-aah-aah But you grew up straight and you grew up true He kept a blue-gray eye on you Until the day he closed his eyes and left them closed Your daddy didn't leave a will He left a shovel and a hole to fill And how it feels, how it feels How it fe-e-e-e-els to be a child of his How it fe-e-e-e-els to be alive like this (Oooooooooooooooh,) (Oooooooooooh) But who gave you an axe to grind? Who gave you a path to find? Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah Who gave you a row to hoe? Who gave you your sorrow? Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah Who gave you the break of dawn? A pleasure just to look upon Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah Hey yah yah yah-ah-ah-ah-ah Who gave you a barn to build? And an empty pa-a-a-a-a-ge, to fill?
