They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy Anymore - Loretta Lynn
I wasn't much more than a baby
I thought he was a bear
The way my daddy carried me around
They said I learned to walk
While holdin' on to just one finger
On the hand of a man that
Stands at six foot three
Not old enough to understand
The meaning of depression
Just something people
Talked about a lot
My daddy wasn't one that tried
To make no big impressions
Just one heck of a man that
Worked for what he got
They don't make men like
My daddy anymore
Guess they've thrown away the
Pattern through the years
In a great big land of freedom
At a time we really need them
They don't make them
Like my daddy anymore
From the johnson county coal
Camps to the hills of west virginia
My daddy hauled the
Timber for the mines
Education didn't count so much
As what you had born in you
Like the will to live and
A dream of better times
Daddy never took a handout
We ate pinto beans a bacon
But he worked to keep the
Wolf back from the door
And it only proves one thing to
Me when folks start belly achin'
They don't make them
Like my daddy anymore
They don't make them
Like my daddy anymore
Guess they've thrown away the
Pattern through the years
In a great big land of freedom
At a time we really need them
They don't make them
Like my daddy anymore
They don't make them
Like my daddy anymore
