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
