Lyrics

He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck And he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck And his teeth were gone, but what the heck I thought that he walked on water He said he was a cowboy when he was young He could handle a rope, and he was good with a gun And my mama's daddy was his oldest son And I thought that he walked on water If the story's told, only Heaven knows But his hat seemed to me like an old halo And though his wings, they were never seen I thought that he walked on water Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop And said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot" And I'd ride in circles while he laughed alot Then I'd flop down beside him And he was 90 years old in '63 And I loved him and he loved me And Lord, I cried the day he died 'Cause I thought that he walked on water If the story's told, only Heaven knows But his hat seemed to me like an old halo And though his wings, they were never seen I thought that he walked on water I thought that he walked on water
