Verse 1
My Daddy was a good man worked hard all his life
He raised four children and dearly loved his wife
He didn’t make much money but we had what we’d need
I learned about life at my Daddy’s knee

Chorus 1
He taught me how to drive a nail and how to use a saw
He told me about right and wrong and to respect the law
To help your neighbours and what it means to be free
That’s what I learned at my Daddy’s knee

Verse 2
Hard as life could be we were always safe and warm
My Daddy’s tender love was a shelter from the storm
He always had a hug or a word to comfort me
I learned about life at my Daddy’s knee

Chorus 2
He taught me how to bait a hook and how to tie a knot
He told me it’s about who you are and not what you’ve got
That makes a better man for all the world to see
That’s what I learned at my Daddy’s knee

Verse 3
The angels came for Daddy when I was just sixteen
To me he never left this world or that’s how it seems
I never will forget that gift he gave to me
I learned about life at my Daddy’s knee

Chorus 3
He taught me how to ride a bike and how to drive a car
He told me to stand tall and be proud of who you are
To think for myself and to be all I could be
That’s what I learned at my Daddy’s knee
At my Daddy’s knee
