Child - Great Granddad lyrics

rate me

Great Granddad, when the land was young,<br />

Barred the door with a wagon tongue,<br />

For the times was rough and the redskins mocked,<br />

And he said his prayers with his shotgun cocked.<br />

<br />

Twenty-one children came to bless<br />

The old man's home in the wilderness,<br />

They slept on the floor with the dogs and the cats,<br />

And they hunted in the woods in their coonskin caps.<br />

<br />

Great Granddad was a busy man,<br />

Cooked his grub in a frying pan,<br />

He picked his teeth with his hunting knife,<br />

And he wore the same suit all his life.
