Grandma Loved That Old Man Lyrics - Tarpaper Sky - Rodney Crowell

Grandma Loved That Old Man-Rodney Crowell 

My grandfather wore big suspenders, 

Grey fedora hat, . on his shoes 

Tobacco stains on his chin, 

Gin on his breath and starching shirts. 

He always had change in his pockets 

A watch in his desk, a tie tied to his chest 

His was craptured and crazy, a 

I'll never forget how my grandma loved that old man! 

He was a night watchman, down on Canal Street 

The salty old bird, a man a few words, 

He was pride in that vein, he walked with the king 

Saw Prince Albert in Canada. 

I'll never forget how my grandma loved that old man 

She was strong in her spirit, strong in her heart, 

Loved that old man right from the start 

Sometimes I did wonder how much she could take 

She was pushed to the limit, she never did break 

Her life for one simple plan 

History trunks with white wash, sidewalks were clean 

There johns were crowd with merchant marines 

And I went to his grave, 

the barber shop shave, had his dice in his hand. 

I'll never forget how my grandma loved that old man 

I never forget how my grandma loved that old man 

I never forget how much grandma loved that old man
