When Daddy Lived In Houston Recorded by Johnny Bush Written by Larry Kingston and Frank Dycus
G C D7 G By 5 AM I was in the woods with an old toe sack C D7 G By 6 o’clock I'd made my trip to the rabbit traps and back C D7 G By 7 momma had them dressed and frying in the pan C D7 G When daddy lived in Houston and we lived off the land
C D7 G They said that down in Houston workers were hard to find C But a man could make his fortune there D7 G While we just scrape for dimes C The money was just waiting there D7 G For those with skillful hands C D7 G So daddy moved to Houston and we lived off the land
C D7 G They say they built the biggest ship that ever sailed the sea C D7 G But none of daddy's money came back to mom and me C D7 G We didn't know the reason but we tried to understand C D7 G Why daddy lived in Houston and we lived off the land
C D7 G And when the war was over dad never made it home C D7 G And I think momma knew he wouldn't come back all along C D7 G It took a while and now I know it never was his plan C D7 G When daddy lived in Houston and we lived off the land
C D7 G When daddy lived in Houston and we lived off the land
