Grandma's Song

All along the old back road

The people stop to talk at

Her garden gate

While inside the family cried

All through the night

Cause the old woman had passed away

I loved her so and though

She was a special one

A lovely lady and a gentle old soul

And she taught me to sing and old folk song

It's got a melody of a hundred years ago

And she sang "A come a lou come a lou come a

Hi-lo come down the merry stream"

I'm remembering

Those memories have given me so much

She wore her age so gracefully

And there was not a living thing

That she did not

Love

And I pray that there is a little of her in me

Oklahoma in the summertime

In her rockin' chair she's a singing there on the

Porch

While the hounds a howling through the hot black

Night

And that ole fox well he's a running like he never

Has done before

When you hear the melody and

When I play my song

Every note you hear from me

She's singing right along

And she sang "A come a lou

Come a lou come a

Hi-lo come down the merry stream"

I'm remembering

All along the old back road

People stop to talk at her garden gate

While inside the family cried all through the night

Did you hear that old Mrs Whitten

Has passed away today

Come a lou come a lou come a hi-lo

Come down the merry stream

Come a ram tam tam and a dippy dippy dow

Hear the row the bow wow wow

The bugle's horn the big

Fi-diddle and the hidey ho

Through the woods were gonna roam boys

Through the woods were gonna roam
