Grampa was a preacher
And he led the singin', too
Grandma used to yodel
And tell us what to do
Grampa drove a limousine
But just on Saturdays
And he'd tell the crying families
About Jesus by the grave
And he was always smiling
And whistlin' a tune
And Grampa had the kindest eyes
Carolina Blues
Once I knew this girl whose
Grampa was a millionaire
And when he kicked the bucket
She was the only heir
And he left her with everything
More than she could dream
Truckloads full of money
With a castle by the sea
But he was always lying
And selfish as could be
So he left her with empty words
And painful memories
Now Grampa didn't leave me
Money I could spend
I guess that he didn't have
Much money in the end
But my Grampa was an honest man
Seeking after Truth
And Grampa had the kindest eyes
Carolina Blues
. . .
Now Grandma had a daughter
And then she had two sons
And one became my father
When he and Ma were done
And I might be the richest man
To ever walk this earth
'Cause I was left with so much more
Than money could be worth
And my dad's just like my grampa
He's wearing worn out shoes
But he's a man that I can trust
He always tells the truth
Now maybe Dad won't leave me
Money I can spend
My guess is that he won't have
Much money in the end
But my father is an honest man
Seeking after truth
And Daddy got my grandpa's eyes
