The great grand-pappy when the land was young Barred his do' wit' a wagon tongue Oooh-ho-ho-ho-ho When the times got tough and redskins smart Said his prayers with his shotgun cocked Oh-oh-oh, whoa-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-whoa-oh
The great grand-pappy was a busy man Cooked his grub in a fryin' pan Picked his teeth with a huntin' knife He wore the same suit all-a his life Oh-oh, ooo-oh-ooo, ooo-ooo A-ay-oh
Twenty-one children, came to be blessed The old man's house in the wilderness Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-a-whoa-oh Doubt his story if you can The great grand-pappy was a busy man Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
