1. He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck,
D A/Eand he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck.
D G/DAnd his teeth were gone, but what the heck,
I thought that he walked on water.
D G
2. He said he was a cowboy when he was young.
He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun.
D GAnd my mama's daddy was his oldest son,--
D A Dand I thought that he walked on water.
CHORUS
G D
If the story's told, only heaven knows.
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo.
D7 GAnd 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,
and said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot."
D GAnd I'd ride in circles while he laughed alot.
D A DThen I'd flop down beside him.
Bm A
And he was ninety years old in sixty-three
and I loved him and he loved me.
G AAnd lord, I cried the day he died,
D A D
'cause I thought that he walked on water.
CHORUS
