Love you, love you, love youHe did, he did, he didHe stood high above youYou were just a little kidYour daddy was a farmerHis back was burnished red and goldAnd every time he closed his eyes a rooster crowedHe sowed a hundred rows of cornThe summer you were bornAnd wondered what your life would yieldHow it feels, to be a child o' hisHow it feelsYour daddy was a builderHe swung his hammer brown and silverAnd every time he closed his eyes a nail was droveAnd you were always underfootLike a splinter in the woodHe couldn't pull you from his heelHow it feels, how it feelsLove you, love you, love youHe did, he did, he didLetras de cancionesHe stood high above youSky around his headSawdust in his hairScarecrow of a manHe couldn't draw you near to himBut you grew up straight and you grew up trueHe kept a blue-grey eye on youUntil one day he closed his eyes and left them closedYour daddy didn't leave a willHe left a shovel and a hole to fillAnd how it feels, how it feelsHow it feels, to be a child o' hisHow it feels, to be alive like thisBut who gave you an axe to grind?Who gave you a path to find?Who gave you a row to hoe?Who gave you your sorrow?And who gave you the break of dawn?A pleasure just to look uponAnd who gave you a barn to buildand an empty page... to fill?
