The Great Grandfather Lyrics
The Great Grandfather - Bo Diddley/Ellas McDaniel
The great grand pappy when the land was young
Barred his do' wit' a wagon tongue
Ooh ho ho ho ho
When the times got tough and redskins smart
Said his prayers with his shotgun cocked
Oh
The great grand pappy was a busy man
Cooked his grub in a fryin' pan
Picked his teeth with a huntin' knife
He wore the same suit all a his life
Oh
Twenty one children came to be blessed
The old man's house in the wilderness
Oh
Doubt his story if you can
The great grand pappy was a busy man
Ooh
Oh
Whoa
