lyrics

Old lady come and sit with me, tell me about your family tree
Hold onto your mind won’t you, cause your all we’ve got to see us through
And I haven’t spoken to you about all the things I wanted to
And you haven’t told me all the history of my ancestry
You just can’t go until I know

Tell me how you met again, you’d known each other through mutual friends
And then on that fateful night, he held your gloves and turned them from white
Then he took you out to dine to the Prince of Whales, the meals were fine
He caught the tram back home with you and said he would call the next day for you
Since that day you’ve never been alone

Until some years ago, he got sick but it was slow
You cared for him, you cared for free
You wished and hoped and prayed
But there was nothing we could do, the angels came and took him through
You haven’t been the same since then, you lost your man and your best friend
You wait alone until its time to go

So Grandma lets go have some fun, tell me about when you were young
How you fell in and out of love, so many times before you found your one
And if you tell me the same story twice, I won’ t tell you I will be nice
Of all the stories I have heard, yours are the best that I have learned
Don’t leave a stone unturned before you go
