Pass it on |
LyricsCopyright © 2010 Jim Ferrie MusicPass it on Ma daddy sat upon his daddy's knee Ma grandpa tellin' of his family Pass it on, pass it on Tellin' stories of a-long ago When he was young and what he'd got to know Pass it on, pass it on Passin' on all the happiness and kindness And the love that he got from down the line Like all good parents to their kids through generations As they grow together movin' on in time Pass it on, pass it on From days long gone, pass it on Ma daddy did the same ole' thing with me Preparing me for my own family Pass it on, pass it on He tried to give me everything I'd need So I could pass it on to my own seed Pass it on, pass it on Passin' on all the happiness and kindness And the love that he got from down the line Like all good parents to their kids through generations As they grow together movin' on in time Pass it on, pass it on From days long gone, pass it on So now I find myself in Daddy's chair A-sittin' on my knee my son and heir Pass it on, pass it on And now I'm passin' on all that I know My son'll do the same before he goes Pass it on, pass it on Passin' on all the happiness and kindness And the love that he got from down the line Like all good parents to their kids through generations As they grow together movin' on in time Passin' on all the happiness and kindness And the love that he got from down the line Like all good parents to their kids through generations As they grow together movin' on in time Pass it on, pass it on From days long gone, pass it on (etc) |
