The Great Grandfather

O Grande Vovô

The Great Grandfather

O grande vovô quando a terra era novaThe great grand-pappy when the land was young
Trancou a porta com a língua da carroçaBarred his do' wit' a wagon tongue
Oooh-ho-ho-ho-hoOooh-ho-ho-ho-ho
Quando os tempos ficaram difíceis e os índios espertosWhen the times got tough and redskins smart
Fez suas orações com a espingarda armadaSaid his prayers with his shotgun cocked
Oh-oh-oh, whoa-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-whoa-ohOh-oh-oh, whoa-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-whoa-oh

O grande vovô era um homem ocupadoThe great grand-pappy was a busy man
Cozinhava sua comida numa frigideiraCooked his grub in a fryin' pan
Passava os dentes com uma faca de caçaPicked his teeth with a huntin' knife
Usou o mesmo terno a vida inteiraHe wore the same suit all-a his life
Oh-oh, ooo-oh-ooo, ooo-oooOh-oh, ooo-oh-ooo, ooo-ooo
A-ay-ohA-ay-oh

Vinte e um filhos, vieram para serem abençoadosTwenty-one children, came to be blessed
A casa do velho no meio do matoThe old man's house in the wilderness
Oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-a-whoa-ohOh-oh-a-whoa-oh
Duvide da história se puderDoubt his story if you can
O grande vovô era um homem ocupadoThe great grand-pappy was a busy man
Ooh-ooh-ooh-oohOoh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh-hoo! (ah-hoo)Oh-hoo! (ah-hoo)
OoowOoow
Whoa-ooh-a-ooo.Whoa-ooh-a-ooo.
