the great grand-pappy when the land was young
barred his do’ wit’ a wagon tongue
oooh-ho-ho-ho-ho
when the times got tough and redskins smart
said his prayers with his shotgun c-cked
oh-oh-oh, whoa-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-whoa-oh
the great grand-pappy was a busy man
cooked his grub in a fryin’ pan
picked his teeth with a huntin’ knife
he wore the same suit all-a his life
oh-oh, ooo-oh-ooo, ooo-ooo
a-ay-oh
(guitar & piano)
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
ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
oh-hoo! (ah-hoo)
ooow
fades-
whoa-ooh-a-ooo.
