My old Daddy went walkin’ one day

Pushin’ tall weeds right outta his way
D                           D
My old Daddy went walkin’ one day
D                      D

Daddy went ridin’ in his old car
Took the dog with him ‘cause it aint too far
Daddy went ridin’ in his old car
Hey now, hey now

They’ll be laughin’, Oh the stories they’ll tell
D(x)             Dmaj7(x)      G     Gmaj7
When he holds her in his arms again
A                                         G/B    A
They’ll be sweethearts with time on their ha-a-a-ands
