Lightnin' Hopkins - My Grandpa Is Old Too Lyrics
I want all you young people to know what to doLeave my grandpa alone 'cause he done got old tooThat's my grandpa, that's my grandpaThat's my grandpa, sweetest man I ever sawMama told me, oh, day of oldYour grandpa stood by, tell this is toldNow don't bother my grandpa 'cause he done got old tooI ain't jivin', I ain't jokin'Ain't gonna never bother youMy grandpa he shouts for joyBeen takin' care of me ever since I was a boyHe getting old nowAnd he really isReally I know it 'cause I'm old myselfMy grandpa says son, take me a walkin'Say I wanna go where's the coolest place you knowI say why, grandpa?'Cause grandpa's getting oldTell all you people, done want you to understandGrandpa once have been a young manHe getting old nowHe's getting to be an old manHe can't remember 'morrow, but he still understandsHe look at me and he say, what's this all about?Give me my pipe son, and he had it in his mouthHe's an old man, you know he don't got the mind,You see he don't hardly know what he's doingBut he's still my grandpaBut he ain't nothin' else to turnTell all you young people, I don't mean no harmI just want you to leave my grandpa aloneHe says I've got old now, have pity on meIf you bother my grandpa,I'm the one you gotta seeMy dear old dad.
