Grandma Loved That Old Man (original)

My grandfather wore big suspenders,
Grey fedora hat,.
on his shoes
Tobacco stains on his chin,
Gin on his breath and starching shirts.
He always had change in his pockets
A watch in his desk, a tie tied to his chest
His was craptured and crazy, a
I’ll never forget how my grandma loved that old man!
He was a night watchman, down on Canal Street
The salty old bird, a man a few words,
He was pride in that vein, he walked with the king
Saw Prince Albert in Canada.
I’ll never forget how my grandma loved that old man
She was strong in her spirit, strong in her heart,
Loved that old man right from the start
Sometimes I did wonder how much she could take
She was pushed to the limit, she never did break
Her life for one simple plan
History trunks with white wash, sidewalks were clean
There johns were crowd with merchant marines
And I went to his grave,
the barber shop shave, had his dice in his hand.
I’ll never forget how my grandma loved that old man
I never forget how my grandma loved that old man
I never forget how much grandma loved that old man

(traducción)

Mi abuelo usaba tirantes grandes,
Sombrero fedora gris,.
en sus zapatos
Manchas de tabaco en la barbilla,
Gin en su aliento y camisas almidonadas.
Siempre tenía cambio en los bolsillos.
Un reloj en su escritorio, una corbata atada a su pecho
El suyo era cagado y loco, un
¡Nunca olvidaré cómo mi abuela amaba a ese anciano!
Era un vigilante nocturno, en Canal Street
El viejo pájaro salado, un hombre de pocas palabras,
Era orgullo en esa vena, caminó con el rey
Vi al Príncipe Alberto en Canadá.
Nunca olvidaré cómo mi abuela amaba a ese viejo
Ella era fuerte en su espíritu, fuerte en su corazón,
Amé a ese anciano desde el principio.
A veces me preguntaba cuánto podría tomar
Fue empujada al límite, nunca se rompió
Su vida por un plan simple
Baúles históricos con lavado blanco, las aceras estaban limpias
Allí los johns estaban llenos de marinos mercantes.
Y fui a su tumba,
el afeitado de la barbería, tenía sus dados en la mano.
Nunca olvidaré cómo mi abuela amaba a ese viejo
Nunca olvido como mi abuela amaba a ese viejo
Nunca olvidaré cuánto amaba la abuela a ese viejo.
