Lyrics Grandma Harp(Merle Haggard)
Grandma's maiden name was Zonethelines And there's ninety years to tell about in a few short lines Born in Newton County down in Arkansas Then in 1901 she married grandpa.
We laid her soul to rest on Sunday morning And everybody knew she'd done her part Don't get set to hear no hidden family legend Just a song about the life of Grandma Harp.
Just think about the times that she lived through And think about the changin' world she saw Now some how she reared a decent family out of poverty And for seventy years she loved the same ole grandpa.
To me her passin' brought a closin' chapter To a way of life that I loved within my heart I just mean to say I think we owe her something special If just a song about the life of Grandma Harp.
Grandma's maiden name was Zonethelines And there's ninety years to tell about in a few short lines Born in Newton County down in Arkansas Then in 1901 she married grandpa.
We laid her soul to rest on Sunday morning And everybody knew she'd done her part Don't get set to hear no hidden family legend Just a song about the life of Grandma Harp... |
