There's a man at my house, he's so big and strong He goes to work each day, and he stays all day long He comes home each night looking tired and beat He sits down at the dinner table and has a bite to eat
Never a frown, always a smile When he says to me: "How's my child?" I said that I've been studying hard all day in school Trying very hard to understand the golden rule
I think I'll color this man father I think I'll color him love Said I'm gonna color him father I think I'll color the man love, yes I will
He says education is the thing if you want to compete Because without it son, life ain't very sweet I love this man and I don't know why Except I'll need his strength until the day that I die
My mother loves him and I can tell By the way she looks at him when he holds my little sister Nell I heard her say just the other day That if it hadn't of been for him she couldn't have found her way
I think I'll color him father I'm gonna color him love I've got to color him father I think I'll color this man love
Our real old man, he got killed in the war And she knows she and seven kids couldn't of gotten very far She said she thought that she could never love again And then there he stood with that big wide grin He married my mother and he took us in And now we belong to the man with that big wide grin
I've got to color this man father I'm gonna color him love I've got to color him father I believe I'll color this man love
He's just been so good to me I know I've got to color him love I'm gonna color him father I've got to color this man love
He's just been so kind I think I'll color him love
