Grandma Harp

Merle Haggard

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] Grandma’s maiden name was Zone Villines There’s ninety years to tell about in a few short lines Born in Newton County down in Arkansas Then in nineteen-one she married Grandpa We laid her soul to rest one Sunday mornin’ And everybody knew she’d done her part Don’t get set to hear no hidden family legend Just a song about the life of Grandma Harp [Verse 2] Just think about the times that she lived through And think about the changing world she saw Now somehow she reared a decent family out of poverty And for seventy years she loved the same old Grandpa To me her passing brought a closing chapter To a way of life that I love within my heart I just mean to say I think we owe her something special If just a song about the life of Grandma Harp [Verse 1] Grandma’s maiden name was Zone Villines There’s ninety years to tell about in a few short lines Born in Newton County down in Arkansas Then in nineteen-one she married Grandpa We laid her soul to rest one Sunday mornin’ And everybody knew she’d done her part Don’t get set to hear no hidden family legend Just a song about the life of Grandma Harp [Outro]

La chanson évoque la vie d'une grand-mère qui a vécu près de cent ans, en se concentrant sur son parcours, son mariage et son rôle dans la famille. Elle est originaire de l'Arkansas et a surmonté des difficultés pour élever une famille aimante, tout en restant fidèle à son mari pendant de nombreuses années. Le récit souligne l'importance de son héritage et la reconnaissance qu'on lui doit pour tout ce qu'elle a accompli. Il s'agit d'un hommage sincère, dépeignant une époque révolue et les valeurs familiales. La chanson met en lumière la simplicité et la profondeur d'une vie dédiée aux autres, reflétant les liens indéfectibles qui unissent les générations.
