Great Grandfather

Great Grandfather - Bo Diddley

The great grand-pappy when the land was young

Barred his door with a wagon tongue

Oooh-ho-ho-ho-ho

When the times got tough and redskins smart

Said his prayers with his shotgun cocked

Oh-oh-oh whoa-ooh-ooh-ooh oh-whoa-oh

The great grand-pappy was a busy man

Cooked his grub in a frying pan

Picked his teeth with a hunting knife

He wore the same suit all-a his life

Oh-oh ooo-oh-ooo ooo-ooo

A-ay-oh

Twenty-one children came to be blessed

The old man's house in the wilderness

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-a-whoa-oh

Doubt his story if you can

The great grand-pappy was a busy man
