Grandpa Was A Carpenter (爷爷是个木匠) - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band[00:00:01]
Written by:John Prine[00:00:09]
Oh grandpa wore his suit to dinner nearly every day[00:00:22]
No particular reason[00:00:27]
He just dressed that way[00:00:29]
Brown necktie with a matching vest and[00:00:31]
Both his wingtip shoes[00:00:34]
He built a closet on our back porch and[00:00:36]
Put a penny in a burned out fuse[00:00:38]
Grandpa was a carpenter[00:00:40]
He built houses[00:00:42]
Stores and banks[00:00:43]
Chain smoked camel cigarettes[00:00:45]
And hammered nails in planks[00:00:47]
He would level on the level[00:00:49]
He shaved even every door[00:00:51]
And voted for eisen hower[00:00:54]
'Cause lincoln won the war[00:00:56]
Well he used to sing me blood on the saddl[00:01:08]
And rock me on his knee[00:01:10]
And let me listen to the radio before we got tv[00:01:12]
Well he'd drive to church on sunday and[00:01:17]
He'd take me with him too[00:01:19]
Stained glass in every window[00:01:21]
Hearing aids in every pew[00:01:24]
Grandpa was a carpenter[00:01:26]
He built houses stores and banks[00:01:28]
Chain smoked camel cigarettes[00:01:31]
And hammered nails in planks[00:01:33]
He would level on the level[00:01:35]
He shaved even every door[00:01:37]
And voted for eisen hower[00:01:40]
'Cause lincoln won the war[00:01:42]
Well my grandma was a teacher[00:01:54]
She went to school in bowling green[00:01:56]
Traded in a milking cow for a singer sewing machine[00:01:59]
Well she called her husband mister[00:02:03]
And she walked real tall and proud[00:02:05]
She used to buy me comic books after grandpa died[00:02:08]
Grandpa was a carpenter he built houses[00:02:12]
Stores and banks[00:02:15]
Chain smoked camel cigarettes[00:02:16]
And hammered nails in planks[00:02:18]

He shaved even every door[00:02:23]
And voted for eisen hower[00:02:26]
