He wore starched white shirts ~ b___oned at the neck,
and he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck.
And his teeth were gone ~ but what the heck,
I thought ~ that he walked ~ on water.

He said he was a cowboy, when he was young.
He could handle a rope, and he was good with a gun.
And my mama's daddy was his oldest son,
and I thought ~ that he walked ~ on water.

(CHORUS)
If the story was told ~ only heaven knows.
But his hat seemed to me ~ like an old halo.
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,
and said, "Son ~ here's a pony, keep her at a trot"
And I'd ride in circles while he laughed alot.
Then I'd flop down beside him.

And he was ninety years old in sixty-three
and I loved him and he loved me.
And Lord, I cried the day he died,
'cause I thought ~ that he walked ~ on water.

(Repeat CHORUS)

'yeah I thought ~ that he walked ~ on water.
