Oh grandpa wore his suit to dinner nearly every day
祖父几乎每日都身着正装赴宴
No particular reason
并非有何特殊缘由
He just dressed that way
只是习惯如此着装
Brown necktie with a matching vest and
褐色领带配着同色马甲
Both his wingtip shoes
还有那双翼纹皮鞋
He built a closet on our back porch and
他在后院门廊打造衣橱
Put a penny in a burned out fuse
将硬币塞进烧断的保险丝
Grandpa was a carpenter
祖父是位能工巧匠
He built houses
他建造房屋
Stores and banks
商店和银行
Chain smoked camel cigarettes
骆驼香烟不离手
And hammered nails in planks
木板钉钉声声响
He would level on the level
做事严谨求方正
He shaved even every door
门框修得笔直挺
And voted for eisen hower
投票支持艾森豪
'Cause lincoln won the war
因林肯赢得战争
Well he used to sing me blood on the saddl
他常哼唱血染马鞍的歌谣
And rock me on his knee
让我坐在膝头轻轻摇晃
And let me listen to the radio before we got tv
在电视出现前 总让我听收音机
Well he'd drive to church on sunday and
每逢周日他驾车去教堂
He'd take me with him too
总会带着我同往
Stained glass in every window
每扇彩窗都透着光
Hearing aids in every pew
每排长椅都放着助听器
Grandpa was a carpenter

Well my grandma was a teacher

She went to school in bowling green

Traded in a milking cow for a singer sewing machine
用一头奶牛换来了胜家缝纫机
Well she called her husband mister
