Lyrics
Copyright © 2010 Jim Ferrie Music
Pass 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)
