Loretta Lynn Miscellaneous They Don't Make Em Like My Daddy (1974) 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 that stood six foot three Not old enough to understand the meaning of depression Just that the people talked about a lot My daddy wasn’t one to try to make no big impressions Just one heck of a man that worked for what he got They don’t make em like my daddy anymore Yeah they thrown away the pattern through the years In a great big land of freedom at a time we really need em Yeah they don’t make em like my daddy anymore From the Johnson County coal gates to the hills of West Virginia My daddy worked down in those dark coalmines Education didn’t count so much it’s what you had formed in ya That’s the will to live and a dream of better times Daddy never took a handout we ate pinto beans and bacon But he worked to keep the wolves back from the door And it only proved one thing to me when folks start bellyaching They don’t make em like my daddy anymore They don’t make em like my daddy anymore Yeah they thrown away the pattern through the years In a great big land of freedom at a time we really need em Yeah they don’t make em like my daddy anymore They don’t make em like my daddy anymore |
