Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'I dreamed that I was grandpapa, and...'
One night when I was fast asleep,
what fun it was for me,
I drempt' that I was Grandpapa,
and Grandpapa was me.

I dreamed I wore a powdered wig,
transparent gray to bluff,
and I took without a single sneeze,
a double pinch of snuff,
a double pinch of snuff,
a double pinch of snuff,
And I took without a single sneeze,
a double pinch of snuff.

And as we were walking down the road,
he ran by my side.
And because I walked too fast for him,
the little fellow cried.
the little fellow cried,
the little fellow cried,
and because I walked too fast for him,
the little fellow cried.

Then after tea, I washed his face,
and when our prayers were said,
I blew the candle out and left,
poor Grandpapa in bed.
Grandpapa in bed,
Grandpapa in bed,
blew the candle out and left,
poor Grandpapa in bed.

Love this song! Can remember my mom rocking me and singing this song to me.
