Dolly Parton - Daddy Did His Best lyrics

I remember when my daddy worked all day

For Just a dollar and he never saved a penny

But at least the bills were payed.

I never seen a man worked half as hard

And come home half as tired

The give the Liord a tip of all he made.

Chorus:

Daddy said I'm making payments on the mansion

And so many times he told me this old world is not home

And he told me he'd been promised he'd recieve s fair reward

Daddy did the best he could and left the rest up to the Lord.

Now I never seen a man that had no reason for complaining

But he smiled at me explaining how he never walked alone

When they called me to his death bed I remember

How my daddy just looked up and smiles and said I'm going home.

Chorus:

Daddy said I'm making payments on the mansion

And so many times he told me this old world is not home

And he told me he'd been promised he'd recieve s fair reward

Daddy did the best he could and left the rest up to the Lord.

--- Instrumental ---

Seen my daddy leave this world for one much better

I've been watching people worrying more and working for things they can't afford

In a world that's filled with problems no one ever found

The answers to the things my daddy left to the Lord.

Daddy did his best and left the rerst up to the Lord.
