Do What You Do, Do Well was by Ned Miller, great songwriter, and highly underrated singer. Myrna Lorrie was probably best known for Are You Mine? though she had a nice career and is in the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.

But back to the lyrics. I do have the Ned Miller album in question, but have not seen it in ever so long, but will look for it. I seem to remember an Ernest Tubb version as well.

When I first read this thread title, I thought there had to be a mistake, and the song must be DO WHAT YOU DO WELL or WHAT YOU DO, DO WELL, but no, it was written correctly--except I don't think it should have a comma.

DO WHAT YOU DO DO WELL
Ned Miller

CHORUS: Do what you do do well, boy.
Do what you do do well.
Give your love and all o' your heart,
And do what you do do well.

Well, I can still remember, just like yesterday,
About a mighty big man with a mighty big heart, and mighty few words to say.
And they were-- CHORUS.

Now, he couldn't move a mountain or pull down a big oak tree,
But my daddy became a mighty big man with a simple philosophy: CHORUS

Sometimes he'd kiss my mother and hold her tenderly,
Then look across the top of her head and he'd wink and say to me: CHORUS

Well, he was a man of laughter, but if tragedy came by,
The tears ran free and he'd say to me, "Never be afraid to cry." CHORUS

[Recorded by Tommy Cash, Ned Miller, Sonny James, Ernest Tubb, Slim Whitman, and a few others.]

Wasn't it Ned Miller who sang "From a Jack to a King"? Jumped into the british charts long time ago. Great voice!
