Songtext von Grandma Harp

Grandma's maiden name was Zombelines There's 90 years to tell about in a few short lines Born in Newton County down in Arkansas Then in nineteen-one she married Grandpa We laid her soul to rest one Sunday mornin' 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 (Spoken) Just think about the times that she lived through And think about the changing world she saw Now somehow she reared a decent family out of poverty And for 70 years she loved the same old Grandpa To me, her passing brought a closing chapter To a way of life that I love within my heart I just mean to say I owe her something special If just a song about the life of Grandma Harp Grandma's maiden name was Zombelines There's 90 years to tell about in a few short lines Born in Newton County down in Arkansas Then in nineteen-one she married Grandpa We laid her soul to rest one Sunday mornin' 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
