Testi musica canzoni

He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck
He'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck
His teeth were gone but what the heck
I thought that he walked on water

Said he was a cowboy when he was young
Could handle a rope and he was good with a gun
And my momma's daddy was his oldest son
And I thought that he walked on water

If the story is 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

He tied a cord to the end of a map
Said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot"
I'd ride in circles while he laughed a lot
Then I'd flop down beside him

He was ninety years old in '63
I loved him and he loved me
Lord I cried the day he died
Cause I thought that he walked on water
