Adam Brand - Grandpa's Piano lyrics
Grandpa had a piano It was built in 1904 He brought it down from Sydney town Before the first World War He'd sit down and crack his knuckles Put his glasses on his head When he's start to play the cat would run and hide behind the bed Well the right foot stomped the pedal And his left foot stomped the floor His wrinkled old hands were skippin' the keys That wouldn't play no more He'd play "Onward Christian Soldier" And the window panes would shake When the man of 87 played his old 88 The piano sat in a corner On a sagging hardwood floor On top was a frame I'd made for him With a picture of the Lord A fadest Baptist hymnal Took its place above the keys We'd take turns sittin' by him He'd nod, we'd turn the page Well the right foot stomped the pedal And his left foot stomped the floor His wrinkled old hands were skippin' the keys That wouldn't play no more He'd play "Onward Christian Soldier" And the window panes would shake When the man of 87 played his old 88 Well that old piano is silent now It don't ring with joy no more Except some times when the cat jumps down When there's someone at the door But I can see him up in heaven With a smile upon his face When God and all the angels Let him lead "Amazing Grace" Well the right foot stomped the pedal And his left foot stomped the floor His wrinkled old hands were skippin' the keys That wouldn't play no more He'd play "Onward Christian Soldier" And the window panes would shake When the man of 87 played his old 88 When the man of 87 played his old 88 |
