Lyrics:
Grandpa sits by the back door And he can't see anymore He lost his sight in '64 You can lead him like a horse to water But in the evening when the shadows get long I sit and I play him my favourite songs He listens for a while but it doesn't take long And he's a'hollerin' He says play me a song about rifles and pistols, Winchesters, Smiths & Wessons, 45s and Enfields, Saddle 'em up and ride 'em down There's a darkness out on the edge of town Preacher at the grave site with the bible Play me a song 'bout pistols and rifles Grandpa's born in 1904 And he never fought in any wars Too old for the Second, too young for the First He told me But he loves to hear them cowboy songs The ones that just go on and on He listens till his head would nod And he's a'snorin' He says play me a song about rifles and pistols, Winchesters, Smiths & Wessons, 45's and Enfields Saddle 'em up and ride 'em down There's a darkness out on the edge of town Preacher at the grave site with the bible Play me a song 'bout pistols and rifles Not last week, but the week before last I led my old Grandpa down the path Out where the prairie grasses grow for miles I showed him where to point and how to stand Put an old Henry rifle in his hand And you should have heard him laughin' when he got it firing He says play me a song about rifles and pistols Winchesters, Smiths & Wessons, 45s and Enfields Saddle 'em up and ride 'em down There's a darkness out on the edge of town Preacher at the grave site with the bible Play me a song 'bout pistols and rifles Grandpa sits by the back door And he can't see any more He lost his sight in '64 You can lead him like a horse to water
