Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
My dad was [D]a big man
[G]with a will that was tough
He was [D]at his best when
the going was [A]rough
He made a [D]living for the family
and [G]never had to cheat
To keep [D]food on the table and
[A]shoes on our [D]feet
We sat [G]down at the table

[Verse 2]
and
[D]thanked god in prayer
Cause we had [G]plenty to eat
and [D]plenty [A]to wear
We had [D]patches on our britches
but [G]momma kept us neat
We had [D]food on the table [A]and shoes
on [D]our feet

We picked the [D]cotton and
[G]gathered the corn
We [D]were taught to work from
the day we were [A]born
Mom and [D]dad and all us children worked
[G]in the summer's heat
To keep [D]food on the table
[A]and shoes on our [D]feet
When you sit [G]down at the table

If you've got [D]food on the table [A]and shoes on your [D]feet
