about

Unsure of what to sing at news of my father's passing, not able to pick a song for my Dad that was fitting, I decided to sit down in the small hotel in my hometown in Saskatchewan and write a song for my father's funeral at the last minute that encompassed everything that was my Dad The Chief or Big Duff.
I don't know how I sang it with him right beside me, but I did. My brother said the nicest thing to me after "That could be a hit Duff".
Peace Dad.

lyrics

He's out by the campfire
Jivin' with Doreen
Pitchin his fastball mighty fine
Smokin and swearin
Don't care whose carin'
In his Garden of Eden in the shade

Pickled his own onions
Stood his ground like a warrior
Grass was always greener on the other side
He wrangled seven children
Chief of the fire
In his Garden of Eden in the sun

Oh... he can fly
He is free to be

Dancin with angels
Shakin hands with Elvis
Walkin the bases with Satchel Paige
Meetin Ma and Daddy
Plantin his own 'taters
But thats nothing compared to his
Garden of Eden in the stars
Oh in the stars
