Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Grandpa Was a Carpenter текст песни

Текст
Oh, grandpa wore his suit to dinner nearly every day

No particular reason, he just dressed that way

Brown necktie with 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

Grandpa was a carpenter, he built houses, stores and banks

Chain-smoked camel cigarettes, and hammered nails in planks

He would level on the level, he 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 the radio before we got tv

Well, hed drive to church on sunday and hed take me with him too

Stained glass in every window, hearing aids in every pew

Grandpa was a carpenter, he built houses, stores and banks

Chain-smoked camel cigarettes, and hammered nails in planks

He would level on the level, he shaved even every door

And voted for eisenhower, cause lincoln won the war

Well, my grandma was a teacher, she went to school in bowling green

Traded in a milking cow for a singer sewing machine

Well, she called her husband "mister," and she walked real tall and proud

She used to buy me comic books after grandpa died

Grandpa was a carpenter, he built houses, stores and banks

Chain-smoked camel cigarettes, and hammered nails in planks

He would level on the level, he shaved even every door

And voted for eisenhower, cause lincoln won the war
