He Walked on Water

If the story was told, only heaven knows
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo
And his teeth were gone, but what the heck
And I thought that he walked on water

Said he was a cowboy when he was young

Then I'd flop down beside him

I thought that he walked on water
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo
I thought that he walked on water
He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun

And he was ninety years old in sixty-three
And my mama's daddy was his oldest son
And said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot"
And I loved him and he loved me

And I'd ride in circles while he laughed allot
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
'Cause I thought that he walked on water
And Lord, I cried the day he died
And though his wings, they were never seen
If the story was told, only Heaven knows
