Lyrics Daddy Was a Deacon - Don Walker

Daddy was a deacon
(Parental advisory for these lyrics)

We'd take our seat and fold our hands
And then we'd bow our heads
Pray at sunday supper give us our daily bread
To god be the glory where streets are made of gold
This we ask in jesus name
Somebody pass the rolls

Daddy was a deacon
He taught sunday school
Taught the ten commandments
About the golden rule
He sang jesus loves me
And amazing grace
Daddy was a deacon until his dyin' day

Daddy cried when mama died
I saw it on his face
Jesus had the angels sing
When the good lord called her name

Then one sunday evening, no one can deny
She had no class and a great big ass
And caught my daddy's eye
She did her best in that red dress
Everybody knows
She took everything he had and left him all alone

Daddy was a deacon
He taught sunday school
Taught the ten commandments
About the golden rule
He sang jesus loves me
And amazing grace
Daddy was a deacon until his dying day

Daddy cried when mama died
I saw it on his face
Satan smiled on the day
That hooker took her place

Daddy was a deacon
He taught sunday school
Taught the ten commandments
About the golden rule
He sang jesus loves me
And amazing grace
Daddy was a deacon until his dying day
In days of old on streets of gold
Right through the pearly gates
Daddy was a deacon until his dying day
Alright who's ready for desert?
