Grandpa Was a Carpenter

	作词 : Prine
	Grandpa wore his suit to dinner
	Nearly every day
	No particular reason
	He just dressed that way
	Brown necktie and a matching vest
	And both his wingtip shoes
	He built a closet on our back porch
	And put a penny in a burned out fuse.
	Chorus:
	Grandpa was a carpenter
	He built houses stores and banks
	Chain smoked camel cigarettes
	And hammered nails in planks
	He was level on the level
	And shaved even every door
	And voted for eisenhower
	'cause lincoln won the war.
	Well, he used to sing me "blood on the saddle"
	And rock me on his knee
	And let me listen to radio
	Before we got t.v.
	Well, he'd drive to church on sunday
	And take me with him too!
	Stained glass in every window
	Hearing aids in every pew.
	Repeat chorus:
	Now my grandma was a teacher
	Went to school in bowling green
	Traded in a milking cow
	For a singer sewing machine
	She called her husband "mister"
	And walked real tall and pride
	And used to buy me comic books
	After grandpa died.
	Repeat chorus:
