Grampa was a preacher |
| [00:23.89] |
And he led the singin', too |
| [00:26.69] |
Grandma used to yodel |
| [00:29.13] |
And tell us what to do |
| [00:31.23] |
Grampa drove a limousine |
| [00:34.10] |
But just on Saturdays |
| [00:36.35] |
And he'd tell the crying families |
| [00:38.54] |
About Jesus by the grave |
| [00:41.19] |
|
| [00:41.65] |
And he was always smiling |
| [00:44.39] |
And whistlin' a tune |
| [00:46.79] |
And Grampa had the kindest eyes |
| [00:49.18] |
Carolina Blues |
| [00:54.68] |
Once I knew this girl whose |
| [00:56.74] |
Grampa was a millionaire |
| [00:59.34] |
And when he kicked the bucket |
| [01:01.04] |
She was the only heir |
| [01:03.34] |
|
| [01:04.39] |
And he left her with everything |
| [01:06.69] |
More than she could dream |
| [01:09.29] |
Truckloads full of money |
| [01:11.59] |
With a castle by the sea |
| [01:13.85] |
But he was always lying |
| [01:17.41] |
And selfish as could be |
| [01:19.17] |
So he left her with empty words |
| [01:22.01] |
And painful memories |
| [01:24.65] |
|
| [01:27.01] |
Now Grampa didn't leave me |
| [01:29.35] |
Money I could spend |
| [01:31.61] |
I guess that he didn't have |
| [01:34.62] |
Much money in the end |
| [01:36.37] |
But my Grampa was an honest man |
| [01:40.19] |
Seeking after Truth |
| [01:42.29] |
And Grampa had the kindest eyes |
| [01:45.04] |
Carolina Blues |
| [01:49.94] |
|
| [02:00.26] |
Now Grandma had a daughter |
| [02:02.26] |
And then she had two sons |
| [02:04.51] |
And one became my father |
| [02:07.17] |
When he and Ma were done |
| [02:09.82] |
And I might be the richest man |
| [02:12.46] |
To ever walk this earth |
| [02:14.76] |
'Cause I was left with so much more |
| [02:17.46] |
Than money could be worth |
| [02:19.51] |
|
| [02:19.71] |
And my dad's just like my grampa |
| [02:22.67] |
He's wearing worn out shoes |
| [02:25.26] |
But he's a man that I can trust |
| [02:27.71] |
He always tells the truth |
| [02:32.46] |
Now maybe Dad won't leave me |
| [02:34.98] |
Money I can spend |
| [02:37.03] |
My guess is that he won't have |
| [02:40.23] |
Much money in the end |
| [02:41.64] |
|
| [02:42.23] |
But my father is an honest man |
| [02:44.79] |
Seeking after truth |
| [02:47.39] |
And Daddy got my grandpa's eyes |
| [02:52.05] |
Carolina Blues |
| [02:57.00] |
Carolina Blues |
| [02:59.65] |
|
| [03:02.25] |
Now I am a father |
| [03:03.67] |
I've got three little girls |
| [03:06.43] |
And everything is different |
| [03:08.74] |
Since they came into the world |
| [03:11.88] |
Fame and fortune seems to me |
| [03:14.53] |
The empty air's pursue |
| [03:16.73] |
I'd rather know my daughter's world |
| [03:19.53] |
And see them grow up too |
| [03:21.03] |
|
| [03:22.13] |
We all know how time can |
| [03:25.08] |
Slip away from you |
| [03:26.93] |
So God help me to be a man |
| [03:28.88] |
That always follow through |
| [03:33.68] |
I wanna do what I say |
| [03:36.97] |
I'll do |
| [03:37.47] |
|
| [03:39.62] |
And I should hope I leave them |
| [03:42.24] |
Money they can spend |
| [03:44.29] |
But you know that I am a song writer |
| [03:46.64] |
So the money is in the wind |
| [03:48.83] |
Like my daddy and grandpa |
| [03:51.87] |
Seeking after truth |
| [03:54.53] |
And when I look into the mirror |
| [03:57.12] |
I see Carolina Blues |
| [04:01.37] |
Grandpa, it makes me think of you |
| [04:07.11] |
These Carolina Blues |
| [04:11.75] |
You know I want my daughters got them too |
| [04:20.21] |
Carolina |
| [04:25.25] |
Carolina Blues |
