He Walked on Water Lyrics

Wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck And he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck And his teeth were gone, but what the heck I thought that he walked on water
Said he was a cowboy when he was young He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun And my mama's daddy was his oldest son And I thought that he walked on water
If the story was told, only heaven knows But his hat seemed to me like an old halo And though his wings, they were never seen I thought that he walked on water
Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/he-walked-on-water-lyrics-randy-travis.html ] And said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot" And I'd ride in circles while he laughed allot Then I'd flop down beside him
And he was ninety years old in sixty-three And I loved him and he loved me And Lord, I cried the day he died 'Cause I thought that he walked on water
If the story was told, only Heaven knows But his hat seemed to me like an old halo And though his wings, they were never seen I thought that he walked on water I thought that he walked on water
