Grandpa wore his suit to dinner |
| [00:03.61] |
Nearly every day |
| [00:06.07] |
No particular reason |
| [00:08.34] |
He just dressed that way |
| [00:10.64] |
Brown necktie and a matching vest |
| [00:13.09] |
And both his wingtip shoes |
| [00:15.45] |
He built a closet on our back porch |
| [00:17.75] |
And put a penny in a burned out fuse. |
| [00:19.95] |
Grandpa was a carpenter |
| [00:22.35] |
He built houses stores and banks |
| [00:24.57] |
Chain smoked Camel cigarettes |
| [00:27.29] |
And hammered nails in planks |
| [00:29.38] |
He was level on the level |
| [00:31.74] |
And shaved even every door |
| [00:34.43] |
And voted for Eisenhower |
| [00:36.74] |
'Cause Lincoln won the war. |
| [00:38.90] |
Well, he used to sing me "Blood on the Saddle" |
| [00:47.40] |
And rock me on his knee |
| [00:49.65] |
And let me listen to radio |
| [00:51.84] |
Before we got T.V. |
| [00:53.98] |
Well, he'd drive to church on Sunday |
| [00:56.42] |
And take me with him too! |
| [00:58.96] |
Stained glass in every window |
| [01:01.39] |
Hearing aids in every pew. |
| [01:03.57] |
Grandpa was a carpenter |
| [01:05.98] |
He built houses stores and banks |
| [01:08.11] |
Chain smoked Camel cigarettes |
| [01:10.78] |
And hammered nails in planks |
| [01:12.93] |
He was level on the level |
| [01:15.18] |
And shaved even every door |
| [01:17.92] |
And voted for Eisenhower |
| [01:20.07] |
'Cause Lincoln won the war. |
| [01:22.76] |
Now my grandma was a teacher |
| [01:30.37] |
Went to school in Bowling Green |
| [01:32.86] |
Traded in a milking cow |
| [01:35.51] |
For a Singer sewing machine |
| [01:37.38] |
She called her husband "Mister" |
| [01:39.97] |
And walked real tall and pride |
| [01:42.43] |
And used to buy me comic books |
| [01:44.94] |
After grandpa died. |
| [01:47.26] |
