The great grand-pappy when the land was young

Barred his do' wit' a wagon tongue

Oooh-ho-ho-ho-ho

When the times got tough and redskins smart

Said his prayers with his shotgun cocked

Oh-oh-oh, whoa-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-whoa-oh

The great grand-pappy was a busy man

Cooked his grub in a fryin' pan

Picked his teeth with a huntin' knife

He wore the same suit all-a his life

Oh-oh, ooo-oh-ooo, ooo-ooo

(Guitar & piano)

Twenty-one children, came to be blessed

The old man’s house in the wilderness

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-a-whoa-oh

Doubt his story if you can

The great grand-pappy was a busy man

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh-hoo! (ah-hoo)

Ooow

FADES-

Whoa-ooh-a-ooo.
