Granny Song

A-dee-oo-leh-hee yeh-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh Yes my granny is a cripple in Nashville This story I tell you is true One day, she went out on her wheelchair Never knowin' it had a loose screw Well a wheel came off of that wheelchair, friends And on three wheels it trundled away And it trundled right over the edge of a cliff In an old sea-side town, far away A-dee-oo-leh-hee yeh-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh Now the boy who was pushin the wheelchair Was a little blind orphan called Joe And he said "Oh where is my granny?" "And where did that damn wheelchair go?" Well he ran off to search for that wheelchair, friends But his sightless eyes led him astray And he ran right over the edge of the cliff In that old sea-side town, far away A-dee-oo-leh-hee yeh-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh Well somebody sent for a doctor And an ambulance too, it was called And the people who lived in the neighbourhood Stood around and they cried, how they bawled Well the doctor and the ambulance came rushing, friends They were rushing from two different ways And they crashed with a biff, and shot over the cliff In that old sea-side town, far away A-dee-oo-leh-hee yeh-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh Well they sent for brave father Maloney To pray for the poor soles they pose And he said "Well now that we're gathered here good people" "Well we might as well pray I suppose!" But, too many people had gathered And the edge of the cliff gave way And they dropped with a yell They all shot straight to hell In that old, sea-side town, so terribly far away A-dee-oo-leh-hee yeh-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh
