"He Walked on Water"

Words/Music by Allen Shamblin

Performed by Randy Travis

D G/D

1. He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck,

D A/E

and he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck.

D G/D

And his teeth were gone, but what the heck,

D A D G A

I thought that he walked on water.

D G

2. He said he was a cowboy when he was young.

D A

He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun.

D G

And my mama's daddy was his oldest son,--

D A D

and I thought that he walked on water.

CHORUS

G D

If the story's told, only heaven knows.

A D

But his hat seemed to me like an old halo.

D7 G

And although his wings, they were never seen.

A D G/A A/C#

I thought that he walked on water.

D G

3. Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop,

D A

and said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot."

D G

And I'd ride in circles while he laughed alot.

D A D

Then I'd flop down beside him.

Bm A

And he was ninety years old in sixty-three

G A

and I loved him and he loved me.

G A

And lord, I cried the day he died,

D A D

'cause I thought that he walked on water.

CHORUS
