MIm    LAm    SI7    MIm

MIm                        
 Everyday my papa would work
   LAm
To try to make ends meet
   SI7
To see that we would eat
           MIm
Keep those shoes upon my feet

Every night my papa would take me
    LAm
And tuck me in my bed
SI7
Kiss me on my head
      MIm
After all the prayers were said

Growing up with them was easy
    LAm
The time had flew on by
    SI7
The years began to fly
      MIm
They aged and so did I

DO           RE

 And I could tell
     SI7/RE#         MIm

That mama she wasn't well
DO            RE               SOL

Papa knew and deep down so did she
       SI7
So did she
DO        RE

 When she died
SI7/RE#                MIm

Papa broke down and he cried
    DO                     LAm                SI7

And all he could say was, "God, why her? Take me!"

MIm                             LAm

 Everyday he sat there sleeping in a walking chair
   SI7
He never went upstais
      MIm
All Because she wasn't there
                      
Then one day my Papa said,
          LAm
"Son, I'm proud of how you've grown"
    SI7
and make it on your own
MIm
I'm O.K. alone"

Every time I kiss my children
LAm
Papa's words ring true
          SI7
He said, "Children live through you
         MIm
Let them grow! They'll leave you, too"
                      LAm
I remember every word Papa used to say
  SI7
I kiss my kids and pray
     MIm
That they'll think of me

Every night my papa would take me
    LAm
And tuck me in my bed
SI7
Kiss me on my head
      MIm
After all the prayers were said

Every night my papa would take me
    LAm
And tuck me in my bed
SI7
Kiss me on my head
      MIm
After all the prayers were said...
