作词 : Prine | |
Grandpa wore his suit to dinner | |
Nearly every day | |
No particular reason | |
He just dressed that way | |
Brown necktie and a matching vest | |
And both his wingtip shoes | |
He built a closet on our back porch | |
And put a penny in a burned out fuse. | |
Chorus: | |
Grandpa was a carpenter | |
He built houses stores and banks | |
Chain smoked camel cigarettes | |
And hammered nails in planks | |
He was level on the level | |
And shaved even every door | |
And voted for eisenhower | |
'cause lincoln won the war. | |
Well, he used to sing me "blood on the saddle" | |
And rock me on his knee | |
And let me listen to radio | |
Before we got t.v. | |
Well, he'd drive to church on sunday | |
And take me with him too! | |
Stained glass in every window | |
Hearing aids in every pew. | |
Repeat chorus: | |
Now my grandma was a teacher | |
Went to school in bowling green | |
Traded in a milking cow | |
For a singer sewing machine | |
She called her husband "mister" | |
And walked real tall and pride | |
And used to buy me comic books | |
After grandpa died. | |
Repeat chorus: |
