Lyrics

Oh Granny

Granny got up early one sunny day

Went to get the ferry down to Nashville

Went to find my sister who had run away

Run off with a barker on a fair wheel

Oh Granny don't you bother with her

She really didn't love us anyway

No Granny don't you bring her back home

You're never gonna make her wanna stay

Granny brought us both up from the age of four

Gave us education and a home yeah

Made sure we were brung up in a proper way

Granny worked her fingers to the bone yeah

Oh Granny don't you bother with her

She really didn't love us anyway

No Granny don't you bring her back home

You're never gonna make her wanna stay

No Granny she really didn't love us anyway

No Granny I won't bother with her

I know she'll never ever wanna stay

Oh Granny don't you bother with her

She really didn't love us anyway

No Granny don't you bring her back home

You're never gonna make her wanna stay

Just the other day my granny passed away

Doc says she was pining for a baby

Now I go to put some flowers on her grave

She really was a very special lady

Oh Granny I won't bother with her

She really didn't love us anyway

No Granny I wouldn't bring her back home

You're never gonna make her wanna stay

No Granny she really didn't love us anyway

No Granny I won't bother with her

I know she'll never ever wanna stay

No Granny she really didn't love us anyway

No Granny I won't bother with her

I know she'll never ever wanna stay
