Lyrics:
Grampa was a preacherAnd he led the singin', tooGrandma used to yodelAnd tell us what to doGrampa drove a limousineBut just on SaturdaysAnd he'd tell the crying familiesAbout Jesus by the graveAnd he was always smilingAnd whistlin' a tuneAnd Grampa had the kindest eyesCarolina BluesOnce I knew this girl whoseGrampa was a millionaireAnd when he kicked the bucketShe was the only heirAnd he left her with everythingMore than she could dreamTruckloads full of moneyWith a castle by the seaBut he was always lyingAnd selfish as could beSo he left her with empty wordsAnd painful memoriesNow Grampa didn't leave meMoney I could spendI guess that he didn't haveMuch money in the endBut my Grampa was an honest manSeeking after TruthAnd Grampa had the kindest eyesCarolina Blues. . Now Grandma had a daughterAnd then she had two sonsAnd one became my fatherWhen he and Ma were doneAnd I might be the richest manTo ever walk this earth'Cause I was left with so much moreThan money could be worthAnd my dad's just like my grampaHe's wearing worn out shoesBut he's a man that I can trustHe always tells the truthNow maybe Dad won't leave meMoney I can spendMy guess is that he won't haveMuch money in the endBut my father is an honest manSeeking after truthAnd Daddy got my grandpa's eyesCarolina BluesCarolina BluesCarolina Blues
