He couldn't move a mountain

Nor pull down a big old tree-ee

But my daddy became a mighty big man

With a simple philosophy



Do what you do do well boy

Do what you do do we-ell

Give your love and all of your heart

And do what you do do well



Sometimes he'd kiss my mother

And hold her tenderly-y

Then he'd look across the top of her head

Then he'd wink and say to me



Do what you do do well boy

Do what you do do we-ell

Give your love and all of your heart

And do what you do do well



Well he was a man of laughter

But a tragedy came by-y

The tears ran free and he'd say to me

Never be afraid to cry



Do what you do do well boy

Do what you do do we-ell

Give your love and all of your heart

And do what you do do well



Today I still remember

Just like yesterday-ay

'Bout a mighty big man with a mighty big heart

And a mighty few words to say



Do what you do do well boy

Do what you do do we-ell

Give your love and all of your heart

And do what you do do well

Do what you do do well...
