Tom Paxton - My Daddy And Me lyrics

My daddy and me We ran to the rainbow My daddy and me We flew where the clouds blow Down by the shore We ran till we couldn't run any more Down by the sea My daddy and me My daddy and me Went down to the rodeo I knew I could win My daddy told me so I rode like the wind I brought that ribbon home to him Oh, what a jamboree For daddy and me Daddy got mad sometimes But you know that's how daddies are He threw his hat at the fencepost But it never went that far And I got scared and teary-eyed But all that I could see Was daddy and me My daddy and me Went down to the railroad We sat on the hill Just about where the train slowed The engineer was my friend Blew his whistle, stood my hair on end If you'd have been there you could see Like daddy and me My daddy went home Where I couldn't follow He left in the night And flew like a swallow And now that I'm grown I still don't feel like I'm alone We're limbs on the same old tree My daddy and me Daddy got mad sometimes But you know that's how daddies are He threw his hat at the fencepost But it never went that far And I got scared and teary-eyed But all that I could see Was daddy and me Now my daddy and me We ran to the rainbow My daddy and me We flew where the clouds blow Down by the shore We ran till we couldn't run any more Down by the sea My daddy and me Down by the sea My daddy and me
