以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Grandpa wore his suit to dinner nearly every day
祖父几乎每天晚餐都穿着西装
No particular reason he just dressed that way
没有特别的原因，他只是习惯如此
Brown necktie and a matching vest and both his wingtip shoes
棕色领带和相配的背心，还有他的翼尖鞋
He built a closet on our back porch
他在我们的后门廊上建了一个衣柜
And put a penny in a burned out fuse
并在烧坏的保险丝里放了一枚硬币
Grandpa was a carpenter built houses stores and banks
祖父是个木匠，建造房屋、商店和银行
Chain smoked camel cigarettes and hammered nails in planks
他抽骆驼牌香烟，把钉子钉进木板
He was level on the level and shaved even every door
他做事一丝不苟，甚至每扇门都修得平整
And voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war
他投票给艾森豪威尔 因为林肯赢了那场战争
Well he used to sing me 'blood on the saddle'
他曾给我唱“马鞍上的血”
And rock me on his knee
并把我抱在膝上轻轻摇晃
And let me listen to radio before we got TV
在电视出现之前 他让我听收音机
Well he'd drive to church on Sunday and he take me with him too
每个周日他开车去教堂 也带上我
Stained glass in every window hearing aids in every pew
每扇窗户都有彩色玻璃 每排长椅都有助听器
Grandpa was a carpenter built houses stores and banks
祖父是个木匠，建造房屋、商店和银行
Chain smoked camel cigarettes and hammered nails in planks

He was level on the level and shaved even every door
他做事一丝不苟，甚至每扇门都修得平整
And voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war
他投票给艾森豪威尔 因为林肯赢了那场战争
Now my grandma was a teacher she went to school in bowling green
我的祖母曾是教师，她在保龄格林上学
Traded in a milking cow for a singer sewing machine
用一头奶牛换了一台胜家缝纫机
Well she called her husband 'mister'
她称呼她的丈夫为“先生”
And walked real tall and pride
昂首挺胸，充满自豪
She used to buy me comic books after grandpa died
在祖父去世后，她常常给我买漫画书
Grandpa was a carpenter he built houses stores and banks
祖父是个木匠，他建造房屋、商店和银行
Chain smoked camel cigarettes and hammered nails in planks

He was level on the level and shaved even every door

And voted for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war
