My Daddy And Me

Words and Music by Tom Paxton

My daddy and me,
We ran to the rainbow.
My daddy and me,
We flew where the clouds blow
Down by the shore,
We ran till we couldn't run any more;
Down by the Sea--
My daddy and me.

My daddy and me
Went down to the rodeo.
I knew / could win--
My daddy told me so.
I rode like the wind
I brought that ribbon home to him,
Oh, what a jamboree
For daddy and me!

Daddy got mad sometimes,
but you know that's how daddies are.
He threw his hat at the fencepost,
But it never went that far,
And I got scared and teary-eyed,
But all that I could see
Was daddy and me.

My daddy and me
Went down to the railroad
We sat on the hill
Just about where the train slowed
The engineer was my friend--
Blew his whistle, stood my hair on end.
If you'd been there you could see
Like daddy and me.

My daddy went home
Where I couldn't follow.
He left in the night
And flew like a swallow.
And now that I'm grown,
I still don't feel like I'm alone
We're limbs on the same old tree--
My daddy and me.

Daddy got mad sometimes,
But you know that's how daddies are.
He threw his hat at the fencepost,
But it never went that far,
And I got scared and teary-eyed,
But all that I could see
Was daddy and me.

My daddy and me,
We ran to the rainbow,
My daddy and me,
We flew where the clouds blow.
Down by the shore,
We ran till we couldn't run any more;
Down by the sea--
My daddy and me.
