Although he wears glasses
He mixes with the classes of today, yesterday, mm
Nice, gentle, and kind
But there′s one thing I'll always keep on my mind
Who′s the one that I adore
Though he beats me to the floor
Old granddad, my old granddad
He's my pappy's pappy
Who′s the one that knows the tricks
When I′m wrong, he gives me kicks
Old granddad, my old granddad
He's my uncle′s father
All my cousins, nieces, nephews
Know old grand's the man
You must act right, you must live right
If you want to meet him in Promised and
Look-a here, it′s getting late
Bet he's waiting at the gate
Old granddad, yeah, my old granddad, yeah
Say, look-a here, it′s getting late
Bet he's waiting at the gate
Old granddad, my fine old granddad, yeah
Fine fellow that granddad
