Subject: Lyr Add: I'M SORRY I ATE YOUR GRAMPA (Frank Rae)
Hi Guys, Just stumbled upon this thread today and am amazed that you know the song. I wrote it a lot of years ago but have never recorded it. It's based on a true news story which you can Google. I will put something up on YouTube but, in the meantime, here are the words and chords.
C I'm sorry I ate your grampa F C I didnae mean nae herm F C If I thought you'd take it badly G I'd have only ta'en an airm
I'm sorry I ate your grampa He wis a lovely man In a plate o' minestrone Wi' a wee bit parmesan
I wis minding my ain business When a minister cycled by He wis thinking on the almighty I wis thinking on a pie I jumped oot o' the jungle He gave oot such awfi squeals He thought I was the devil I thought he was meals on wheels
Well I really liked yir grampa He was fair but he wis tough I'm no saying that that wis his fault He jist wisnae cooked enough I put him in a big pot Dangled it above a fire But I widnae have gone and boiled him If I'd known he was a friar
Jist tae show there's nae hard feelings Here's a hand o' mine Gently simmered wi some onions And a cheeky wee white wine And if ye've room for any afters I've the thing that'll dae the trick Ye can hiv some cheese and crackers Or a plate of spotted dick
