Paw Paw Cried (lyrics) Chorus My Paw Paw cried My Paw Paw cried My Paw Paw cried And this is what he said He said I'm sixty five, and I'm still alive, and that's a miracle in itself. I've been down, below the ground, under the hard rock shelf. But mining coal never eased my soul, it took away my breath. So I had to quit, just up and split, postponing my on death. CHORUS Drilling holes in the soil, looking for oil, cause the bread was right. Too tired to speak, seven days a week, drinkin' hard every night. Without a doubt, that wore me out, I never saved a single dime. So I left that alone, and now it's all gone, just in the nick of time. CHORUS I went to Nam, for my uncle Sam, and I received my purple heart. I still hear the jeers , after all these years, for going to do my part. Sam I've killed for you, and what do you do? offer me some SSI It's kinda funny, my own damn money, and I get it just before I die. CHORUS There are some things, like diamond rings, that I will never own. Worked fifty summers, most were bummers, all that money blown. I've never been fired, but now I'm tired, so I think I'll take a rest. Running out of sweat, smothered in debt, the S worked off my chest. And my Paw Paw died And my Paw Paw died And my God my Paw Paw died Jody
