Grandma Harp |
Grandma’s maiden name was Zona Villines |
There’s ninety years to tell about in a few short lines |
Born in Newton County down in Arkansas |
Then in nineteen-one she married Grandpa |
We laid her soul to rest one Sunday mornin' |
And everybody knew she’d done her part |
Don’t get set to hear no hidden family legend |
Just a song about the life of Grandma Harp |
Just think about the times that she lived through |
And think about the changing world she saw |
Now somehow she reared a decent family out of poverty |
And for seventy years she loved the same old Grandpa |
To me, her passing brought a closing chapter |
To a way of life that I love within my heart |
I just mean to say I think we owe her something special |
If just a song about the life of Grandma Harp |
Grandma’s maiden name was Zona Villines |
There’s ninety years to tell about in a few short lines |
Born in Newton County down in Arkansas |
Then in nineteen-one she married Grandpa |
We laid her soul to rest one Sunday mornin' |
And everybody knew she’d done her part |
Don’t get set to hear no hidden family legend |
Just a song about the life of Grandma Harp |
