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       (repeat)
