He couldn't move a mountain or pull down a big old tree
But my daddy became a mighty big man with a simple philosophy
Do what you do, do well, boy, do what you do, do well
Give your love and all your heart and do what you do, do well
Sometimes he'd kiss my mother and hold her tenderly
Then he'd look across the top of her head, then he'd wink and say to me
Oh!
Do what you do, do well, boy, do what you do, do well
Give your love and all your heart and do what you do, do well
Well, he was a man of laughter, but if tragedy came by
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 well
Give your love and all your heart and do what you do, do well
Today I still remember
Just like yesterday
Found 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 well
Give your love and all your heart and do what you do, do well
Do what you do, do well
Do what you do, do well, boy, do what you do, do well
