Grandpa and Grandma Blues Lyrics by Memphis Minnie

The Rough Guide to Jug Band Blues

1930

[Verse 1]
Grandma got something make grandpa break his pipe
Grandma got something make grandpa break his pipe
And grandpa got something keep grandma awake all night
[Verse 2]
Grandma grandma please don't sleep so long
Grandma please don't sleep so long
Grandpa ain't smoked his pipe, grandma since you been gone
[Verse 3]
Here comes grandpa staggering up and down the road
Here comes grandpa staggering up and down the road
With that pipe in his hand, he'll find you everywhere you go
[Verse 4]
Grandma grandma why don't you stay at home?
Grandma grandma why don't you stay at home?
That's why you and grandpa, grandma can't get along
[Verse 5]
Grandma grandma what makes you love grandpa so?
Grandma what makes you love grandpa so?
“He's got the same pipe now he had forty years ago”
[Verse 6]
Grandpa swears he won't get drunk no more
Grandpa swears he won't get drunk no more
Because he broke his pipe he had forty years ago
