DADDY'S CHAIR

VERSE 1: DADDY'S CHAIR, WHERE HE SPENT SO MANY NIGHTS
HE'D COME IN FROM THE FIELDS AND WATCH
THE BALLGAMES AND THE FIGHTS
A LITTLE SIP OF BUTTERMILK
TO EASE HIS WEARY BONES
WHEN DADDY TOOK HIS CHAIR
HE WAS A KING UPON A THRONE

CHORUS: DADDY'S CHAIR, CARVED OF OAK AND JUST AS STRONG
OLD AND CREAKY AS THE MAN
WHO SAT THERE FOR SO LONG
CATS 'N DOGS AND CHILDREN
THEY ALL LOVED TO CLIMB UP THERE
BUT EVERY NIGHT AND WEEKENDS
IT WAS ALWAYS DADDY'S CHAIR

VERSE 2: DADDY'S CHAIR, WITH THE CUSHION OLD AND WORN
THAT OLD CHAIR WAS SITTING THERE
THE DAY THAT I WAS BORN
IT'S WHERE WE TOOK OUR TROUBLES
WHEN THEY GOT TOO MUCH TO BEAR
IT WAS OUR ROCK OF AGES
AND WE CLUNG TO DADDY'S CHAIR

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: DADDY'S CHAIR, SITTING EMPTY NOW HE'S GONE
BUT I KNOW THERE'S ONE LIKE IT
ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE
SURROUNDED BY THE ANGELS
SINGING HYMNS AND SAYING PRAYERS
ALL IS WELL IN HEAVEN
DADDY'S SITTING IN HIS CHAIR

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG: ALL IS WELL IN HEAVEN, DADDY'S SITTING IN HIS CHAIR
