Merle Haggard — Grandma Harp

[Chorus] Grandma's maiden name was Zombelines There's ninety years to tell about in a few short lines Born in Newton County down in Arkansas Then in nineteen-and-one, she married Grandpa We laid her soul to rest one Sunday morning And everybody knew she'd done her part Don't get set to hear no hidden family legend Just a song about the life of Grandma Harp [Verse] Just think about the times that she lived through And think about the changing world she saw Now somehow she reared a decent family out of poverty And for seventy years, she loved the same old Grandpa To me, her passing brought a closing chapter To a way of life that I loved within my heart I just mean to say, I think we owe her something special If just a song about the life of Grandma Harp [Chorus] Grandma's maiden name was Zombelines There's ninety years to tell about in a few short lines Born in Newton County down in Arkansas Then in nineteen-and-one, she married Grandpa We laid her soul to rest one Sunday morning And everybody knew she'd done her part Don't get set to hear no hidden family legend Just a song about the life of Grandma Harp
