Grandpa Was a Carpenter

[00:00.11]Grandpa wore his suit to dinner
[00:03.54]Nearly every day
[00:06.03]No particular reason
[00:08.38]He just dressed that way
[00:10.58]Brown necktie and a matching vest
[00:13.05]And both his wingtip shoes
[00:15.42]He built a closet on our back porch
[00:17.60]And put a penny in a burned out fuse
[00:20.23]Grandpa was a carpenter
[00:22.41]He built houses stores and banks
[00:25.01]Chain smoked Camel cigarettes
[00:27.51]And hammered nails in planks
[00:29.62]He was level on the level
[00:31.96]And shaved even every door
[00:34.71]And voted for Eisenhower
[00:36.96]'Cause Lincoln won the war
[00:38.25]Well
[00:45.10]He used to sing me
[00:46.70]Blood on the Saddle
[00:47.78]And rock me on his knee
[00:50.10]And let me listen to radio
[00:52.46]Before we got TV
[00:54.25]Well
[00:54.63]He'd drive to church on Sunday
[00:56.96]And take me with him too
[00:59.28]Stained glass in every window
[01:01.78]Hearing aids in every pew
[01:04.20]Now my grandma was a teacher
[01:09.06]Went to school in Bowling Green
[01:15.87]Traded in a milking cow
[01:29.25]For a Singer sewing machine
[01:38.50]She called her husband Mister
[01:40.79]And walked real tall and pride
[01:48.06]And used to buy me comic books
[02:00.25]After grandpa died
