| Lyrics：John Prine Music：John 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 TV | |
| 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: |
