Grandpa Was A Carpenter (爷爷是个木匠) (LP版) - John Prine[00:00:00]

Grandpa wore his suit to dinner nearly every day[00:00:01]

No particular reason he just dressed that way[00:00:06]

Brown necktie and a matching vest and both his wingtip shoes[00:00:11]

He built a closet on our back porch[00:00:15]

And put a penny in a burned out fuse[00:00:17]

Grandpa was a carpenter built houses stores and banks[00:00:20]

Chain smoked camel cigarettes and hammered nails in planks[00:00:25]

He was level on the level and shaved even every door[00:00:29]

And voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war[00:00:34]

Well he used to sing me 'blood on the saddle'[00:00:45]

And rock me on his knee[00:00:47]

And let me listen to radio before we got TV[00:00:50]

Well he'd drive to church on Sunday and he take me with him too[00:00:54]

Stained glass in every window hearing aids in every pew[00:00:59]

Grandpa was a carpenter built houses stores and banks[00:01:04]

Chain smoked camel cigarettes and hammered nails in planks[00:01:08]

He was level on the level and shaved even every door[00:01:13]

And voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war[00:01:18]

Now my grandma was a teacher she went to school in bowling green[00:01:28]

Traded in a milking cow for a singer sewing machine[00:01:33]

Well she called her husband 'mister'[00:01:38]

And walked real tall and pride[00:01:40]

She used to buy me comic books after grandpa died[00:01:43]

Grandpa was a carpenter he built houses stores and banks[00:01:47]

Chain smoked camel cigarettes and hammered nails in planks[00:01:52]

He was level on the level and shaved even every door[00:01:57]

And voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war[00:02:01]
