Joe Ely - Grandfather Blues Lyrics
My great great GrandfatherProspected for goldIn the wilds of AlaskaIn the Yukon coldMy great GrandfatherFought the Civil WarOn the side of the SouthIn the Infantry CorpsMy own GrandfatherWas a hell of a manHe rode Rock Island RailroadIn the blowing sandAll this makes me wonderWhat they'll say about meOh he was just some fool ramblerDyin to be freeO-o-oh, I need one good woman to pull me throughO-o-oh, I got one good woman just like youMy great great Grandmother Wore a calico gownShe had a double-barreled shotgun That she never set downMy great Grandmother Was a Cherokee brideYou could find her every evening Down by the riversideMy own Grandmother Had a heart of goldShe had eyes like an Angel And an ocean for a SoulAll this makes me wonderWhat they'll say about meOh he was just some fool ramblerDyin to be freeO-o-oh, I need one good woman to pull me throughO-o-oh, I got one good woman just like you!
