They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy Anymore(Single Version) - Loretta Lynn

作词：Jerry Chesnut

作曲：Jerry Chesnut

I wasn't much more than a baby

I thought he was a bear

The way my daddy carried me around

They said I learned to walk

While holdin' on to just one finger

On the hand of a man that

Stands at six foot three

Not old enough to understand

The meaning of depression

Just something people

Talked about a lot

My daddy wasn't one that tried

To make no big impressions

Just one heck of a man that

Worked for what he got

They don't make men like

My daddy anymore

Guess they've thrown away the

Pattern through the years

In a great big land of freedom

At a time we really need them

They don't make them

Like my daddy anymore

From the johnson county coal

Camps to the hills of west virginia

My daddy hauled the

Timber for the mines

Education didn't count so much

As what you had born in you

Like the will to live and

A dream of better times

Daddy never took a handout

We ate pinto beans a bacon

But he worked to keep the

Wolf back from the door

And it only proves one thing to

Me when folks start belly achin'

They don't make them

Like my daddy anymore

They don't make them

Like my daddy anymore

Guess they've thrown away the

Pattern through the years

In a great big land of freedom

At a time we really need them

They don't make them

Like my daddy anymore

They don't make them

Like my daddy anymore
