1
Brand new shoes, they hurt my feet
2
This lace collar's chokin' me
3
Cuttin' off my air supply,
4
When I hang my head to cry
5
When I hang my head to cry
6
I see tears on daddy's face
7
Someone's hummin' "Amazing Grace"
8
Rain beats on this graveside tier
9
Preacher says he did repent
10
Preacher says he did repent
11
They've got him layin' there in pin stripes,
12
How'd they get him in that suit?
13
I guess the Lord will recognise him,
14
Without his overalls an' mule
15
An' they all say he looks so natural
16
But all I see's a cold dark hole
17
I won't commit this day to memory
18
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
19
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
20
Tractor never pulled his plough,
21
He walked, an' cussed, an' loved that ground
22
His hand sowed each and every seed
23
An' he'd pray for rain an' fight the weeds
24
He'd pray for rain an' fight the weeds
25
He said: "The simple life, it suits me fine"
26
Never dreamed beyond the County line
27
Grandma was his boyhood bride
28
He'll be there in her arms tonight
29
He'll sleep there in her arms tonight
30
They've got him layin' there in pin stripes,
31
How'd they get him in that suit?
32
I guess the Lord will recognise him,
33
Without his overalls an' mule
34
An' they all say he looks so natural
35
But all I see's a cold dark hole
36
I won't commit this day to memory
37
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
38
They played a pretty organ number
39
Swore it was his favorite tune
40
But I know he preferred a fiddle
41
Playin' Carroll County Blues
42
They all say he looks so natural
43
But all I see's a cold dark hole
44
I won't commit this day to memory
45
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
46
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
