Granny got up early one sunny day
Went to get the ferry down to Nashville
Went to find my sister who had run away
run off with a barker on a fair wheel

Oh Granny don't you bother with her
She really didn't love us anyway
No Granny don't you bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay

Granny brought us both up from the age of four
Gave us education and a home yeah
Made sure we were brung up in a proper way
Granny worked her fingers to the bone yeah

chorus

No Granny she really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I won't bother with her
I know she'll never ever wanna stay

chorus

Just the other day my granny passed away
Doc says she was pining for a baby
Now I go to put some flowers on her grave
She really was a very special lady

Oh Granny I won't bother with her
She really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I wouldn't bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay

No Granny she really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I won't bother with her
I know she'll never ever wanna stay
