The Momma 'n' Daddy Collection 84

If there's anyone who's sung more Momma 'n' Daddy songs than Ricky Skaggs, it's Dolly Parton. Accordingly, I have more of Dolly to bring you. Today it's 'Daddy's Working Boots':

My dear hard workin' Daddy works his life away for us
That's the way that Daddy shows to us his love
And Daddy's two hard-workin' hands they're callous and they're sore
And Daddy's workin' boots have walked a million miles or more

As long as I remember, I remember Daddy workin'
Workin' on the job, or either on the farm
Trying to provide for the family that he loves
And Daddy's workin' boots have taken many steps for us

Chorus
Daddy's workin' boots have served as his foundation
Though, just like him, they're tired and worn, for years they've helped him stand
Daddy's working boots have filled their obligation
They've walked that rocky road with a mighty, mighty man

Dear Lord above, I know up there my Daddy's got a mansion
And a great reward that's long been overdue
And when it comes, my Daddy's time to be with you in heaven
Won'tcha let him walk your golden streets in a pair of brand new golden boots

Repeat Chorus
Daddy's workin' boots

I think you'll agree, that's mainstream M&D.
