The Grandpa That I Know — текст песни (Patty Loveless)

Brand new shoes, they hurt my feet
This lace collar`s chokin` me
Cuttin` off my air supply,
When I hang my head to cry
When I hang my head to cry

I see tears on daddy`s face
Someone`s hummin` "Amazing Grace"
Rain beats on this graveside tier
Preacher says he did repent
Preacher says he did repent

They`ve got him layin` there in pin stripes,
How`d they get him in that suit?
I guess the Lord will recognise him,
Without his overalls an` mule
An` they all say he looks so natural
But all I see`s a cold dark hole
I won`t commit this day to memory
That ain`t the Grandpa that I know
That ain`t the Grandpa that I know

Tractor never pulled his plough,
He walked, an` cussed, an` loved that ground
His hand sowed each and every seed
An` he`d pray for rain an` fight the weeds
He`d pray for rain an` fight the weeds

He said: "The simple life, it suits me fine"
Never dreamed beyond the County line
Grandma was his boyhood bride
He`ll be there in her arms tonight
He`ll sleep there in her arms tonight

They`ve got him layin` there in pin stripes,
How`d they get him in that suit?
I guess the Lord will recognise him,
Without his overalls an` mule
An` they all say he looks so natural
But all I see`s a cold dark hole
I won`t commit this day to memory
That ain`t the Grandpa that I know

They played a pretty organ number
Swore it was his favorite tune
But I know he preferred a fiddle
Playin` Carroll County Blues
They all say he looks so natural
But all I see`s a cold dark hole
I won`t commit this day to memory
That ain`t the Grandpa that I know
That ain`t the Grandpa that I know
