[ti:That's My Pa] [ar:Sheb Wooley] [al:50 Greatest Hits from the Golden Era of Country Music] [by:] [offset:0] [00:01.62]That's My Pa - Sheb Wooley/Earl Scruggs [00:09.03]Now back in the country, [00:10.40]Where I was born, [00:11.46]Is on a little old hillside farm, [00:13.53] [00:14.19]My pa raised six kids, [00:15.41]And one of 'em was me. [00:16.38] [00:17.81]In the fall of the year, [00:19.12]When the fields got white, [00:20.09]We'd start pickin' cotton, [00:21.05]About daylight. [00:21.50] [00:22.37]On Saturday, [00:22.72]Pa'd take it all to town. [00:24.07] [00:26.53]And along about dark, [00:27.21]And everything was still, [00:28.40]We could tell it was pa comin' down the hill, [00:30.60]'Cause he'd rear back [00:31.54]And he'd sound off somethin' like this [00:32.99] [00:51.65]Now we'd go out to meet him, [00:53.35]With a lantern light, [00:54.22]'Cause the roads got crooked, [00:55.30]On Saturday night, [00:56.30]And he'd come on down the hill, [00:57.48]And he'd stop in the yard. [00:58.66] [01:00.94]He'd sit up there on that wagon seat, [01:02.58]And he'd say, Boys, I'm hard to beat, [01:05.26]Two hundred pounds of steel, [01:06.62]And twice as hard. [01:07.43] [01:09.45]Southern, wild, and wooly and full of fleas, [01:11.22]And there never been cares for all his needs, [01:13.09] [01:14.10]And he'd rear back and bellow out a course or two. [01:16.19] [01:32.68]That's my pa. [01:33.42] [01:35.09]Jittered up and ready, [01:36.23]And about half wild, [01:37.48]And I can whip anybody in about half mile, [01:39.60]Of course there wasn't anybody there, [01:41.01]Except me and little Skeet. [01:42.21] [01:43.91]Just as tough as a hickory frier, [01:45.66]And I can dive deeper and come up drier, [01:48.02]And he did it too, [01:49.49]Right off that wagon seat. [01:50.56] [01:52.67]Oh, it shook him up, [01:53.42]When he hit the ground. [01:54.44] [01:55.10]Pa got up and looked around, [01:56.58] [01:57.12]And then ran back and let us have it again [01:59.28]
