  			A 
He couldn't move a mountain 
                         E 
Nor pull down a big old tree-ee 
  
But my daddy became a mighty big man 
                  A 
With a simple philosophy 
 
 
 
Do what you do do well boy 
                   E 
Do what you do do we-ell 
 
Give your love and all of your heart 
                       A 
And do what you do do well 
 
 
Sometimes he'd kiss my mother 
And hold her tenderly-y 
Then he'd look across the top of her head 
Then he'd wink and say to me 
 
Do what you do do well boy 
Do what you do do we-ell 
Give your love and all of your heart 
And do what you do do well 
 
Well he was a man of laughter 
But a tragedy came by-y 
The tears ran free and he'd say to me 
Never be afraid to cry 
 
Do what you do do well boy 
Do what you do do we-ell 
Give your love and all of your heart 
And do what you do do well 
 
Today I still remember 
Just like yesterday-ay 
'Bout a mighty big man with a mighty big heart 
And a mighty few words to say 
 
Do what you do do well boy 
Do what you do do we-ell 
Give your love and all of your heart 
And do what you do do well 
Do what you do do well...
