He Walked On Water (v2)

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] And if the story was told, only heaven knows But his hat seemed to me, like an old halo And although his wings, they were never seen I thought, that he walked, on water [Verse 2] 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 a lot Then I'd flop down beside him [Bridge] And he was ninety 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 [Chorus] And if the story was 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 [Outro] Yeah, I thought that he walked, on water
