There’s two things I know for sure.

-5 -5 7 7 -6b 7 -7
She was sent here from hea-ven,

-5 -5 8 -7 8 -7 8
and she’s dad-dy’s lit-tle girl.

-5 -5 -8 -8 -8 8 -7 7 -7 -6b -5
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,

-8 -8 -8 8 -7 -6b 7 -7 8 -7
she talks to Je-sus, and I close my eyes.

7 -6 -6b -6 7 -7 8 -8 9 8 7 -6b
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life

7 -6 -6b -5 -5
Oh, but most of all,

For But-ter-fly kis-ses af-ter bed-time prayer

-5 -5 -8 -8 -8 8 -7
Stick-in lit-tle white flow-ers

all up in her hair

Walk be-side the po-ny

-6b -5 -5 -5 8 8
dad-dy it’s my first ride

-5 -6b -6 7 -7 7 -6 -6b -5
I know the cake looks fun-ny, dad-dy,

-5 -5 9 8
but I sure tried.

7 -6 -6b -6b -6 7 -7
Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong,

-5 -5 -6b 7 8 9 -9
I must have done some-thing right

-6b -6 7 -6 -6b -6b -6 7 7
To de-serve a hug ev-ry morn-ing,

Sweet six-teen to-day,

-5 7 -6b 7 -6b 7 -7
She’s look-ing like her ma-ma

-5 7 -7 8 -7 7 7
a lit-tle more ev-ry day.

-8 -8 8 7 7 -7 -6b -6b -5
One part wo-man, the oth-er part girl.

-5 -8 -8 -8 8 7 -6b 7 -7 8 -7
To per-fume and make-up, from rib-bons and curls

-6b -6 7 -7 8 8 -8 9 8 -6b
Try-in her wings out in a great big world.

-5 7 -6 -6b -5
But I re-mem-ber

7 -7 8 -8 8 -8 -8 -7 7 -6
Pre-cious but-ter-fly spread your wings and fly

VERSE 3 plays same as 1

She’ll change her name today.
She’ll make a promise
and I’ll give her away.
Standing in the bride room
just staring at her,
She asked me what I’m thinking,
and I said «I’m not sure,
I just feel like I’m losing my baby girl.»
Then she leaned over… and gave Me…

THIS CHORUS PLAYS SAME AS OTHERS!
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
«Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it’s just about time»
«Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy?»
«Daddy, don’t cry.»
Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning,
and butterfly kisses at night
I couldn’t ask God for more. Man, this is what love is.
I know I’ve gotta let her go, but I’ll always remember
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses

ENJOY!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

And on-ly an hour for lunch

3. (3&4 same tune as 2)

I have to wake the sun up
He’s liable to sleep all day
And then inspect the rainbows
So they’ll be bright and gay
And must rehearse the song birds
To see that they sing in key
Hus — tle Bus — tle
And never a moment free

4.

I have to meet a turtle
I’m teaching him how to swim
I have to shine the dew drops
Thet’re looking rather dim
I told my friend the robin
I’d buy him a brand new vest
Hus — tle Bus — tle
I wish I could take a rest

I called up my brother to ask for a loan
cause I was busted
Now I hate to beg like a dog for a bone
but I was busted
My brother said, «There ain’t a thing I can do
My wife and the kids are all down with the flu
And I was just thinkin’s ’bout callin’ on you
Cause I’m busted

Now I’m no thief but a man can go wrong
when he’s busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone
and we’re busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton won’t grow
Me and my family’s gotta pack up and go
I’ll make a livin’, just where I don’t know
Cause I’m busted

BURY ME NOT ON THE LONE PRAIRIE

Hey Y�all its Tin Min giving you Folk�s

So sit close to that fire and after a good chew
Take out our Mississippi tin sandwich and sit a spell!

Oh bury me not on the lone prairie
Where the Kiyotes howl and the wind blows free
In a narrow grave just six by three
Oh bury me not on the lone prairie

VERSE 3
Oh bury me not and his voice failed there
But we took no heed of his dying prayer
In a narrow grave just six by three
We buried him there on the lone prairie

Yes we buried him there on the lone prairie
Where the owl all night hoots mournfully
And the blizzard beats and the wind blows free
O’er his lonely grave on the lone prairie

Tomorrow was to be our wedding,

He’s gone, he’s gone to love another;
He no longer cares for me.

He told me that he dearly loved me,
How could I believe him untrue?
Until one day some Neighbors told me.
«He has proven untrue to you.»
