Align:    
  • Poor grandpa, he died but that's the debt we all got to pay
  • Yeah, we livin' now but every livin' people done, whoa Lord, he gotta died one day
  • Lord I followed the hearse down to the burial ground,
  • see four men when they let poor grandpa down
  • Yes I followed the hearse down to the burial ground,
  • see four men when they let poor grandpa down
  • - couldn't stand it, mercy, Lord -
  • Yes you know it hurtin' me so bad, till I almost had a nervous breakdown
  • Yes she know it was sad when we got back home, po' Grandma
  • That's who I felt sorry for, and myself too in a way
  • When we got back home, this is what Grandma say
  • She: "Son, where's my bonnet" and she had it on her head
  • You know it was sad time, sad time when grandpa died
  • Whoa, we didn't have no place to go
  • Grandma said "your good times is over, Grandpa is gone
  • You'll never have no good times no more."
