Do What You Do Do Well (1965)
He couldn’t move a mountain
Or pull down a big oak tree
But my dad became, a mighty big man
With his simple philosophy
Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well
Sometimes he’d kiss my mother
And hold her tenderly
Then he’d look across the top of her head
And he’d wink and say to me
Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well
Well, he was a man of laughter
‘Till a tragedy came by
The tears ran free, and he said to me
Never be afraid to cry
Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well
Sometimes I still remember
Just like yesterday
About a mighty big man, with a mighty big heart
And a mighty few words to say
Do what you do, do well, boy
Do what you do, do well
Give your love and all of your heart
And do what you do, do well
