John Prine - Grandpa Was a Carpenter слова песни
Grandpa wore his suit to dinnerNearly every dayNo particular reasonHe just dressed that wayBrown necktie and a matching vestAnd both his wingtip shoesHe built a closet on our back porchAnd put a penny in a burned out fuse.Chorus:Grandpa was a carpenterHe built houses stores and banksChain smoked camel cigarettesAnd hammered nails in planksHe was level on the levelAnd shaved even every doorAnd voted for eisenhowercause lincoln won the war.Well, he used to sing me "blood on the saddle"And rock me on his kneeAnd let me listen to radioBefore we got t.v.Well, hed drive to church on sundayAnd take me with him too!Stained glass in every windowHearing aids in every pew.Repeat chorus:Now my grandma was a teacherWent to school in bowling greenTraded in a milking cowFor a singer sewing machineShe called her husband "mister"And walked real tall and prideAnd used to buy me comic booksAfter grandpa died.Repeat chorus:
