My dad was a man with 2 hard working hands

He always took time out for me
D G D G
Well, I'd come home from school - load up that ca noe
D G A A7
He'd say "What's the bet gonna be"
Em A
We'd float that boat down on Whipporwill River
Em A
Catch us a big one or two
Em A
He taught me about life and it's simple pleasures
Em A
And whatever else that he knew
D G D G
Then I met a girl with a hair full of curls
D G A A7
Pure and an innocent heart
D G D G
I knew she was the one - and when weekends would come
D G A A7
Wild horses couldn't keep us a part
Em A
We'd run those ponies down Whipporwill River
Em A
I'd steal a sweet kiss or two
Em A
She taught me about love and it's simple pleasures
Em A
And whatever else that she knew
D G D G
Well, I married that girl; and we have a son
D G A A7
He looks like my daddy used to
D G D G
His mom and I, always find time
D G A A7
To do things that he likes to do
Em A
He loves to go fishing on Whipporwill River
Em A
Ride in his grandad's ca noe

We teach him about life, and it's simple pleasures
Em A
And pass down a memory or two
