Grandpa Was A Carpenter 歌詞
Grandpa Was A Carpenter - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Written by：John Prine
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 eisen hower
'Cause lincoln won the war
Well he used to sing me blood on the saddl
And rock me on his knee
And let me listen to the radio before we got tv
Well he'd drive to church on sunday and
He'd 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 eisen hower
'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 eisen hower
'Cause lincoln won the war
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 eisen hower
'Cause lincoln won the war
Voted for eisen hower
'Cause lincoln won the war
