Oh
Grandpa
This song is for Old Martin
Old Martin my Grandpa
He was the best dern grand dad
This world has ever saw
He was born in Mexico
In Eighteen~Eighty~Nine
Learned to speak both languages
To not be left behind
Oh Grandpa, Oh Grandpa
Where are you now
I wish that you were here with me
So you could show me how... ....to
love
When my Grandpa was a lad
Dreamed of his future bride
And when he died in Sixty~Nine
Dear Jen was by his side
Over fifty years of love
He gave to my Grandma
They'd go to church on Sundays
Rejoicing in God's law
Oh Grandpa, Oh Grandpa
Where are you now
I wish that you were here with me
So you could show me how... ....to love
Truck farming by trade
Dairy farming on the side
An honest day for an honest buck
Until the day he died
"Ol' Dan Tucker" he loved to sing
With a child upon his knee
If he were sitting here right now
I know he'd sing with me
Oh Grandpa, Oh Grandpa
Where are you now
I wish that you were here with me
So you could show me how
Oh Grandpa, Oh Grandpa
Where are you now
I wish that you were here with me
So you could show me how... ....to love
