Yes, Bill, I noticed the spelling errors, but you know, since I thought some of the mistakes added interest to the lyrics and some were interesting Mondegreens, and English is a difficult second language.... I give him credit for what he put together. I liked this one, and how Grandpa's "mendolin" "sothed" the pain away with "olod" time songs.
Grandpa's mandolin
looking through old memories in my cedar closet stashed away/ I found the old mendolin grandpa used to play/ I picked it up and held it close thinking bout those years ago/ And all the great music grandpa made
Weathered worn but never frail with calloused hands he gently played/ To bring an easy feeling to a hard working day/ When times were tough as they could be he never once complained to me/ He'd just let the music sothe the pain
When grandpa played the mandolin the family gathered 'round/ To sing the olod time songs generations handed down/ I remember every single phrase from every song he played/ Wish I could sing a song with grandpa today
I recall 1961 the year grandpa passed away/ The family gathered 'round once more to sing Amazing Grace/ Now this mandolin's reminding me of what my grandpa tought to me/ That music makes the world a better place/
