Brand new shoes, they hurt my feet This lace collar's chokin' me Cuttin' off my air supply When I hang my head to cry When I hang my head to cry I see tears on daddy's face Someone's hummin' "Amazing Grace" Rain beats on this graveside tier Preacher says he did repent Preacher says he did repent They've got him layin' there in pin stripes How'd they get him in that suit? I guess the Lord will recognize him Without his overalls an' mule An' they all say he looks so natural But all I see's a cold dark hole I won't commit this day to memory That ain't the Grandpa that I know That ain't the Grandpa that I know Tractor never pulled his plough He walked, an' cussed, an' loved that ground His hand sowed each and every seed An' he'd pray for rain an' fight the weeds He'd pray for rain an' fight the weeds He said: "The simple life, it suits me fine" Never dreamed beyond the County line Grandma was his boyhood bride He'll be there in her arms tonight He'll sleep there in her arms tonight They've got him layin' there in pin stripes How'd they get him in that suit? I guess the Lord will recognize him Without his overalls an' mule An' they all say he looks so natural But all I see's a cold dark hole I won't commit this day to memory That ain't the Grandpa that I know They played a pretty organ number Swore it was his favorite tune But I know he preferred a fiddle Playin' Carroll County Blues They all say he looks so natural But all I see's a cold dark hole I won't commit this day to memory That ain't the Grandpa that I know That ain't the Grandpa that I know
