v.1
He couldn't move a mountain, or pull up a big oak tree
But my daddy became a mighty big man
With a simple philosophy

Chorus:
Do what you do do well, boy, do what you do do well
Give it your love and all of your heart
And do what you do do well

v.2
Sometimes he'd hold my mother, and kiss her tenderly
Then he'd look across the top of her head
And he'd wink and say to me

Rpt. Ch.

v.3
Now he was a man of laughter, but a tragedy came by
The tears ran free and he'd say to me
Never be afraid to cry

Rpt. Ch.

v.3
Today I still remember, just like yesterday
'Bout a mighty big man with a mighty big heart
And a mighty few words to say

Rpt. Ch.
