Em

[Verse 1]
Em
The great grandpappy when the land was young
Am                                   Em
Barred his door with a wagon tongue, oh
Em
Oooh-ho-ho-ho-ho
Am
When the times got tough and redskins smart
Em
Said his prayers with his shotgun cocked, oh
Em
Oh-oh-uh-oh, oh-huh-oh

[Verse 2]
Em
The great grandpappy was a busy man
Am
Cooked his grub in a frying pan
Em
Picked his teeth with a hunting knife
Am                                    Em
He wore the same suit all-a his life, oh
Em
Ooo-oh-ooo
Em
Yeah-ay-oh

[Verse 3]
Em
Twenty-one children came to be blessed
    Am                                 Em
The old man's house in the wilderness, oh
Em
  Oh-oh-oh
Am
Doubt his story if you can
    Em
The great grandpappy was a busy man
Em
Oh---oh-oh-oh
Am
Ah-ha
  Em
Ooow
