Grandma's Song chords by Gail Davies, Gail Davies & Friends
Verse 1
G
The next I saw was a blind man,
as blind as he could be.
He sat a -suffering up in the hollow tree.
Come a -loo, come a -loo,
come a -howl down the berry tree.
Come a -run, come, come,
come a -dip a -dip a -down.
Here's the road that I will walk,
and you'll go on to be happy.
F
Em
All along the old back road,
Am
G
The people stopped to talk
D
G
at her garden gate,
F
While inside the family
Em
cried all through the night,
Am
Because the old woman
G
D
G
had passed away
D
G
F
I loved her so and oh,
Em
she was a special one
Am
D
G
A lovely lady and a gentle old soul
D
G
F
And she taught me to sing
Em
an old folk song
Am
It's got a melody of a
D
G
hundred years ago
Em
And she sang a -come -a -loo,
come -a -loo, come -a -hi -lo
Am
D
Come down the merry stream
G
I'm remembering
F
Those memories have
Em
given me so much
Am
D
G
She wore her age so gracefully
F
And there was not a living thing
Em
that she did not love
Am
And I pray that there is a
D
G
D
G
little of her in me
F
Em
Oklahoma in the summertime
Am
In a rockin' chair,
D
G
she's a -singin' there on the porch
F
While the hounds are howlin'
Em
through the hot black night
Am
And that old fox, well, he's a -runnin'
D
G
like he never has done before
F
When you hear the melody
Em
F
Em
and when I play my song
F
Em
Every note you hear from me,
D
G
D
G
she's singing right along
D
Em
And she sang a -cum -a -loo,
cum -a -loo, cum -a -hi -lo
Am
D
A -cum down the merry street
G
I'm remembering
F
Em
All along the old back road
Am
D
People stopped to talk
G
at her garden gate
F
Well, inside the family
Em
cried all through the night
Am
Did you hear that old Mrs. Whitten
D
G
Has passed away today?
Come a -loo, come a -loo, come a -hi -lo
Come down the merry stream
Come a -ram -tam -tam
and a -dippy -dippy -dow
Hear the row, the bow -wow -wow
The bugle's horn, the big fire diddle
And the hi -dee -ho
Through the woods we're gonna roam,
boys
Through the woods we're
gonna loom
Come a -loom, come a -hallow,
come down the marriage stream.
Come a -ring -ting -ting
and a -jippy -jippy -dowl.
Hear the rowl, the bowl,
wow, wow,
G
the bugles horn, the big fowl.
