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
