Paul Brown Petty |
| [00:14.29] |
was a good old man |
| [00:16.17] |
|
| [00:17.80] |
You felt a little better |
| [00:19.04] |
when he shook your hand |
| [00:21.04] |
|
| [00:22.79] |
Let me tell you a little |
| [00:24.04] |
about him and you'll understand |
| [00:26.03] |
|
| [00:27.53] |
Why Paul Brown Petty |
| [00:28.97] |
was a good old man |
| [00:31.09] |
|
| [00:32.71] |
He grew up in the depression |
| [00:34.21] |
and he fought in the war |
| [00:36.20] |
|
| [00:37.70] |
He never talked too much |
| [00:39.08] |
about the other shore |
| [00:41.20] |
|
| [00:42.51] |
But he was real good-looking |
| [00:44.19] |
in his uniform |
| [00:46.00] |
|
| [00:47.81] |
Officer Petty in 44 |
| [00:50.99] |
|
| [00:52.80] |
And you might say, hey, |
| [00:55.92] |
what's so great |
| [00:58.35] |
Sounds like a simple man |
| [01:03.15] |
|
| [01:04.34] |
He wasn't rich or famous but |
| [01:10.08] |
To me, he sure was grand |
| [01:14.70] |
|
| [01:16.01] |
He married a girl |
| [01:17.26] |
from down the street |
| [01:19.19] |
|
| [01:21.50] |
Built her a house down by a creek |
| [01:24.56] |
|
| [01:26.24] |
One girl, two boys, |
| [01:27.55] |
five mouths to feed |
| [01:29.74] |
|
| [01:31.48] |
Paul Brown Petty built a family |
| [01:34.73] |
|
| [01:36.60] |
He opened a shop down on the square |
| [01:39.66] |
|
| [01:41.47] |
He'd set you on up |
| [01:42.96] |
in his barber chair |
| [01:44.90] |
|
| [01:46.58] |
Get a summertime buzz |
| [01:48.14] |
or a real close shave |
| [01:50.27] |
|
| [01:51.64] |
Get you all cleaned up, |
| [01:53.07] |
send you on your way |
| [01:55.32] |
|
| [01:56.88] |
And you might say, hey, |
| [01:59.81] |
what's so great |
| [02:02.37] |
Sounds like a simple man |
| [02:07.49] |
|
| [02:08.49] |
He wasn't rich or famous but |
| [02:14.41] |
To me, he sure was grand |
| [02:18.97] |
|
| [02:20.09] |
He was a Cumberland Presbyterian |
| [02:22.90] |
|
| [02:25.02] |
He went up to meet his Maker in 91 |
| [02:28.88] |
|
| [02:30.56] |
Sometimes when I talk about him, |
| [02:32.68] |
I get sad |
| [02:33.99] |
|
| [02:35.43] |
You see, Paul Brown Petty |
| [02:36.99] |
was my granddad |
| [02:39.08] |
|
| [02:40.64] |
His courage runs down in my blood |
| [02:46.45] |
His kindness in my eyes |
| [02:51.13] |
|
| [02:52.25] |
If you can see a man in me |
| [02:58.30] |
He's the reason why |
| [03:02.73] |
|
| [03:04.36] |
Paul Brown Petty |
| [03:05.60] |
was a good old man |
| [03:07.73] |
|
| [03:09.35] |
You felt a little better |
| [03:10.72] |
when he shook your hand |
| [03:13.03] |
|
| [03:14.40] |
And if you could've known him, |
| [03:16.21] |
you'd understand |
| [03:17.84] |
|
| [03:19.33] |
Why Paul Brown Petty |
| [03:21.08] |
was a good old man |
