Tall lankey grass higher than I have grown
Findin’ my way back to where I think I came from
Daddy and fishin’ poles, lemonade, waterin’ holes
Braids in my hair, velvet rock on my soles
Chorus
Daddy, daddy it’s cold in the water
Silly, silly you’re silly my daughter
Daddy laughed, daddy laughed daddy laughed
Daddy laughed, oh my daddy laughed
Minnows are slippin’ through fingers to freedom
Face getting’ freckly, the sun is the reason
Sit on the tailgate, eat my fried chicken
Sleep with my canopy, willows are breathin’
Chorus
