Grandma's Raising Marijuana On The Old Home Place
After Grandpa passed away we thought she'd move to town
'Stead of staying on the old homeplace with no one else around
Grandma said I's raised here on this farm and this is where I'll die
Don't worry none about me kids I know how to get by
That ol lady was hard headed, daddy didn't waste his breath
Just told her "Mama call us before you starve to death"
Grandma said I laid back something just for times like these
Who'd of though that she was talking 'bout a sack of seeds .. now
Grandma's raising marijuana on the old home place
Just to supplement her old age pension check
Daddy says that she's a fool but us grandkids say she's cool
And the hippies think she's great cause she sells it by the peck
(Inst.)
My grandpa made a living raising peanuts in those fields
A law abiding citizen he didn't even own a "still"
We'd of all have starved to death when the "Crash" hit on Wall Street
If it hadn't been for "Hoover Hogs" and the "Whipporwill Peas" .. now
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
Now Grandma's breaking laws in the state of Oklahoma
She's got a stash of cash and a cure for her glaucoma
(Repeat Chorus & Tag:)
Daddy says that she's a fool but us grandkids say she's cool
And the hippies think she's great cause she sells it by the peck
Grandma's raising marijuana on the old home place
