Lyrics Ry Cooder – Look At Granny Run Run
Text:
Said, look at Granny run, run
Grandpa runnin’ close behind
Look at Granny run, run, ah… there’s something on Grand-daddy’s mind
Because he went to the doctor, got a brand new pill
The doctor said, «Son, you ain’t over the hill»
He can’t sit still
Great, gosh, almighty, won’t you
Look at Granny run, run, faster than a Greyhound bus (Granny, you better run)
Look at Granny run, run, now Grandpa is gettin’ serious (somebody’s calling you)
Well, he woke up in the middle of the night
Said, «Look-a here baby, everything’s all right»
It was such a sight
Great, gosh, almighty, won’t ya
He can’t sit still
Great, gosh, almighty, won’t you
Look at Granny run, run, faster than a Greyhound bus (Granny, you better run)
Look at Granny run, run, now Grandpa is gettin’ serious (somebody’s calling you)
Well, he woke up in the middle of the night
Said, «Look-a here baby, everything’s all right»
It was such a sight
Great, gosh, almighty, won’t ya
Well, look at Granny run, run
Grandpa runnin’ closer now
No matter how she run, run, he gonna catch her anyhow
Well, he jumped up and he began to shout
Granny come a-running with the mouth poked out
Said, «Look here, pretty Mama, stop your carrying on
All I want’s a little loving just before I’m gone
Ain’t nothing wrong»
Hear my Lord, singing
Great, gosh, almighty
(You better run)
(Somebody’s calling you)
Look at Granny run, run
Well, I feel like my time ain’t (long), time ain’t (long), time ain’t (long)
