Give Her Away

She never cared for little girl toys
She could outrun almost any boy
And if she didn’t it sure would make her mad
Right at home climbing any tree
Down at the creek, bass fishing with me
Made me forget about the son I never had

(Chorus)
She had blue eyes and crooked teeth
Blond pigtails and knobby knees
She’d laugh cause I liked to say
If I could find me a girl I’d give her away

Next thing I knew she was wearing a dress
Outrunnin’ the boys less and less
And suddenly a school dance became fun
Then one day down at the creek
She said there’s someone I want you to meet
I guess deep down inside I knew this day would come

(Chorus)
She has blue eyes and a beautiful smile
Long blond hair, my only child
So happy, what could I say
When she asked me, would I still give her away

(Bridge)
I wasn’t ready to let her go
Till she said Dad, I want you to know
I never thought all this could come true
But in a lot of ways he’s just like you

(Final Chorus)
Look at those blue eyes and how they smile
As we make our way down the aisle
Guess he can borrow her starting today
But I’ll never… give her away
Yeah, he can borrow her starting today
But I could never…. give her away
