The Grandpa That I Know

Brand new shoes, they hurt my feet
 This lace collar's chokin' me
 Cuttin' off my air supply,
 When I hang my head to cry
 When I hang my head to cry
 I see tears on daddy's face
 Someone's hummin' "Amazing Grace"
 Rain beats on this graveside tier
 Preacher says he did repent
 Preacher says he did repent
 They've got him layin' there in pin stripes,
 How'd they get him in that suit?
 I guess the Lord will recognise him,
 Without his overalls an' mule
 An' they all say he looks so natural
 But all I see's a cold dark hole
 I won't commit this day to memory
 That ain't the Grandpa that I know
 That ain't the Grandpa that I know
 Tractor never pulled his plough,
 He walked, an' cussed, an' loved that ground
 His hand sowed each and every seed
 An' he'd pray for rain an' fight the weeds
 He'd pray for rain an' fight the weeds
 He said: "The simple life, it suits me fine"
 Never dreamed beyond the County line
 Grandma was his boyhood bride
 He'll be there in her arms tonight
 He'll sleep there in her arms tonight
 They've got him layin' there in pin stripes,
 How'd they get him in that suit?
 I guess the Lord will recognise him,
 Without his overalls an' mule
 An' they all say he looks so natural
 But all I see's a cold dark hole
 I won't commit this day to memory
 That ain't the Grandpa that I know
 They played a pretty organ number
 Swore it was his favorite tune
 But I know he preferred a fiddle
 Playin' Carroll County Blues
 They all say he looks so natural
 But all I see's a cold dark hole
 I won't commit this day to memory
 That ain't the Grandpa that I know
 That ain't the Grandpa that I know
