Yeah, oh, my mercy
Oh, how I remember daddy
He was young and had a built-in tan, yeah
And though he only stood about a 5'7
My daddy was a heck of a man
Yes, he was, y'all
He loved us all and we knew it, yeah
Though he showed it in a very funny way
For most of the time
He was cussing and fussing
When he said, what he had to say
Now, now, now
Daddy couldn't read
Daddy couldn't write
But one thing, daddy sure could do right
He could swear
Oh, Lord, I declare
Yes, he could, y'all
Daddy could swear
I declare, my mercy
I still remember seein' him in his backyard
Just pickin' and paintin' away
Ooh, my brothers and sisters still talk about how
Daddy lost his temper that day
You see, he built a picket fence
From the garage to the house
While he sang, tell me what I say
The same day, the garbage man
Backed into the fence
And the whole darn thing gave way
You should've been there
Daddy couldn't read (Ooh, my mercy)
Daddy couldn't write (Ooh, my mercy)
One thing, daddy sure could do right
He could swear
Oh, Lord, I declare
Yes, he could, y'all
Daddy could swear
Oh, Lord, I declare
Yes, he could, y'all
Tell 'em about it
Tell 'em about your daddy
My daddy was a bad Montana
What you say? Watch your mouth
My daddy was a bad Montana
What you say? Watch your mouth (Yes, he was)
My daddy was a bad Montana
What you say? Watch your mouth
(Ooh, no)
My daddy wasn't no scholar, no
No, he didn't have a PhD
But in my eyes and way down in my heart
My daddy means the world to me
He'll probably go out
(Talking 'bout daddy)
Cussing, just fussing and being mad
But I hope the good Lord will understand
That my daddy's just being my dad
Now, now, now, now, now
Daddy couldn't read
Daddy couldn't write
But one thing daddy sure could do right
He could swear
Oh, Lord, I declare
Yes, he could
He could swear
I declare
Ooh, my mercy
Cussing and fussing (I declare)
That's my daddy
He could swear, y'all
Talking 'bout daddy
I declare, y'all
That's my daddy
Oh, no
Talking 'bout daddy
I declare, y'all
That's my daddy
He could swear, y'all
Talking 'bout daddy
That's my daddy (I declare)
