EmEveryday my Papa would work To Amhelp to make ends meet To B7see that we would eat Keep those Emshoes upon my feet EmEvery night my Papa would take me And Amtuck me in my bed B7Kiss me on my head After Emall my prayers were said EmGrowing up with him was easy AmTime just flew on by The B7years began to fly He Emaged and so did I
