NOW THE MAN
AT MY HOUSE
HE'S SO BIG AND STRONG
HE GOES TO WORK
EACH DAY AND HE STAYS
ALL DAY LONG
HE COMES HOME
EACH NIGHT
LOOKING TIRED AND BEAT
HE SITS DOWN
AT THE DINNER TABLE
AND HAS A BITE TO EAT
THERE'S NEVER A FROWN
ALWAYS A SMILE
WHEN HE SAYS TO ME
HOW'S MY CHILD
I SAY THAT I'VE BEEN
STUDYING HARD
ALL DAY IN SCHOOL
TRYIN' VERY HARD
TO UNDERSTAND
THE GOLDEN RULE
I THINK I'LL COLOR
THIS MAN FATHER
I THINK I'LL COLOR HIM
LOVE
SAID I'M GONNA
COLOR HIM FATHER
I THINK I'LL COLOR
THE MAN LOVE YES I WILL
HE SAYS EDUCATION
IS THE THING
IF YOU WANT TO
COMPETE
BECAUSE WITHOUT IT SON
LIFE AIN'T VERY SWEET
I LOVE THIS MAN
I DON'T KNOW WHY
EXCEPT I'LL NEED
HIS STRENGTH
UNTIL THE DAY THAT I DIE
MY MOTHER LOVES HIM
AND I CAN TELL
BY THE WAY SHE LOOKS
AT HIM
WHEN HE HOLDS
MY LITTLE SISTER NELL
I HEARD HER SAY
JUST THE OTHER DAY
THAT IF IT HADN'T'VE
BEEN FOR HIM
SHE COULDN'T HAVE
FOUND HER WAY
I THINK I'LL COLOR HIM
FATHER
I'M GONNA COLOR HIM
LOVE
I'VE GOT TO COLOR HIM
FATHER
I THINK I'LL COLOR
THIS MAN LOVE
4 BAR
BREAK
OUR REAL OLD MAN
HE GOT KILLED
IN THE WAR
AND SHE KNOWS
SHE AND SEVEN KIDS
COULDN'T'VE GOTTEN
VERY FAR
SHE SAID SHE THOUGHT
THAT SHE COULD NEVER
LOVE AGAIN
AND THEN
THERE HE STOOD
WITH THAT BIG WIDE GRIN
HE MARRIED MY MOTHER
AND HE TOOK US IN
AND NOW WE BELONG
TO THE MAN WITH THAT
BIG WIDE GRIN
I'VE GOT TO COLOR
THIS MAN FATHER
I'M GONNA COLOR HIM
LOVE
I'VE GOT TO COLOR HIM
FATHER
I BELIEVE I'LL COLOR
THIS MAN LOVE
HE'S JUST BEEN
SO GOOD TO ME
I KNOW I'VE GOT TO
COLOR HIM LOVE
I'M GONNA COLOR HIM
FATHER
I'VE GOT TO COLOR
THIS MAN LOVE
HE'S JUST BEEN SO KIND
