Grandaddy

Grandaddy look at the gypsies dancing in the firelight Burning so brightly How do they keep themselves warm on such a night See all the fiddlers twirling while he plays his violin Laughing and shouting Have you seen anything like it in all your life Grandma was cold and chide when we get in She'll want to know what we've done and where we've been Promise me you'll never tell, ya know your secret's safe with me I can be trusted Wrap me up in your winter coat Wrap me up so tight I never will feel the cold I'll be safe tonight Can we go down to the railroad track and watch the train go by Shining like silver I hear the whistle, the train is on it's way Hold me up over your shoulder so that I can see the light Over the pine trees How I would like to go riding on the train Tell me the story again about the time you went away You went to Chicago, no one knew where you were Why did you ever come back here after you had run away I'm glad you did sir Wrap me in your winter coat Wrap me up so tight I never will feel the cold I'll be safe tonight When you were young you sailed up on the sea. Wrap me up in your winter coat, Wrap me up so tight, I never will feel the cold. I'll be warm tonight Grandaddy tell me the names of all the stars up in the sky Is there a heaven? Do you think there is a life after we die? Why do some people have all the gold and silver they can spend? Others have nothing. It isn't fair and I've always wondered why. Can I hold the match while you light your pipe? I love the smell of tobacco in the air. Tell me again about how it was before I came to be In the old country Wrap me up in your winter coat Wrap me up so tight I never will feel the cold I'll be warm tonight Wrap me up in your winter coat Wrap me up so tight I never will feel the cold I'll be warm tonight
