Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'I dreamed that I was grandpapa, and...'
My great grandmother was born in 1851 in Heard County Georgia. I learned it from her. Last night as I lay snug in bed
What fun it was for me
I dreamed that I was grand papa
And grand papa was me!
I dreamed I wore a powdered wig
Drab pants and gaiters buff
And took without a single sneeze
A double pinch of snuff.
And I went walking down the street
And he ran by my side
And cause I walked too fast for him
The little fellow cried.
And after tea I washed his face
And when his prayers were said
I blew the candle out and left
Poor grandpapa in bed.
