He’s A Pretty Good Man Lyrics by Buffy Sainte-Marie

1968

He’s got shoulders like a mountain, and a smile like a sunny day
The patience of a gardener, and the will to find a way
A mind that’s strong and steady, and a heart that’s good and true
He’s a pretty good man if you ask me
His eyes are full of love, although his life has known its tears
His soul is full of quiet fire that warms us through the years
His heart is full of hope and peace and other things we need
He’s a pretty good man if you ask me
Now his job may not be steady
With his name upon the door
But a dozen well-fed kids I know
Seldom ask for more
He remembers all our birthdays
With a hug and something nice
And his lap is the sweetest place we know
To make the world seem right
He’s a lot of fun in a tickling fight
And when the snow is deep
He can calm a frightened animal
Or rock a child to sleep
We love him more than tongue can tell
And more than song can sing
He’s a pretty good man if you ask me
We love him more than tongue can tell
And more than song can sing
He’s a pretty good man if you ask me
