Out Behind the Barn

Many are the lessons I learned long ago

Most of them the hard way-those the best I know

Well, I remember Judy from just down the road

I was not really her doctor by my daddy I was told

This he made clear to me down on the old farm

Daddy made me cry that day out behind the barn

One day I sneaked around and stole my uncles smokes

To say that I got sick that day is almost just a joke

Another day I went shopping in a store without money

The policeman told my daddy, who didn't think that it was funny

This he made clear to me down on the old farm

Daddy made me cry that day out behind the barn

He taught me about Jesus and why He had to die

How He paid the sin price for sinners, even you and I

Well, many years have passed since daddy went to his eternal home

Some day soon I'll join him there-never more to roam

Because daddy made things clear to me down on the old farm

My daddy still makes me cry out behind the barn.
