[00:00.39]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.

[01:22.76]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.
