This is one of my favorite "father" songs by The Winstons:
"There's a man at my house, He's so big an' strong.
He goes to work each day, An' he stays all day long.
He comes home each night, Lookin' tired an' beat.
He sits down at the dinner table, An' has a bite to eat.
Never a frown, always a smile. When he says to me, "How's my chil'?"
I say that, "I've been studying hard,
All day in school, Tryin' very hard to understand,
The golden rule."
Think I'll color this man father.(Color him father.)
I think I'll color him love. (Color him love.)
Said, I'm gonna color him father.(Color him father.)
I think I'll color the man love. Yes I will.
(Color him lo-hove.)
He says, "Education is the thing, If you want to compete.
Because without it son, Life ain't very sweet."
I love this man, An' I don't know why.
Except I'll need his strength, Till the day that I die.
My mother loves him an' I can tell.
By the way she looks at him, When he holds my little sister, Nell.
I heard her say just the other day, That if it hadn't 'av been for him,
She couldn't have found her way.
I Think I'll color him father. (Color him father.)
I'm gonna color him love. (Color him love.)
I've got to color him father. (Color him father.)
I think I'll color this man love. (Color him lo-hove.)
Our real old man, He got kille' in the war.
An' she knows she an' seven kids, Couldn't of got very far.
She said she thought that, She could never love again.
An' then there he stood, With that big, wide grin.
He married my mother, An' he took us in.
An' now we belong to the man,
With that big wide grin.
I got to color this man father. (Color him father.)
I'm gonna color him love. (Color him love.)
I've to color him father. (Color him father.)
I believe I'll color this man love. (Color him lo-hove.)
He's just been so good to me. (Color him father.)
I feel I've got to have to color him love. (Color him love.)
I'm gonna color him father. (Color him father.)
I've got to color this man love. (Color him loooove.)
He's just been so good.(Color him father.)
Yeah, I think I'll color him love. (Color him love.)
I'm goin' to color him father. (Color him father...)"
