Judy Collins - Grandaddy CAPO: 6th Fret [Intro]           [Verse 1] Grandaddy look at the gypsies dancing in the firelight Burning so brightly How do they keep themselves warm on such a night? [Verse 2] See all the fiddlers twirling while he plays his violin Laughing and shouting Have you seen anything like it in your life? [Verse 3] Grandma would scold and chide when we got in She’ll wanna know what we’ve done and where we’ve been Promise me you’ll never tell you know your secret’s safe with me I can be trusted [Chorus] Wrap me up in your winter coat Wrap me up so tight I never will feel the cold I’ll be warm tonight____             [Verse 4] Can we go down to the railroad tracks and watch the train go by? Shining like silver I hear the whistle the train is on it’s way [Verse 5] Hold me over your shoulder so that I can see the light Over the pine trees How I would like to go riding on that train [Verse 6] Tell me the story again about the time you went away You went to Chicago no one knew where you were Why did you ever come back here after you had run away? I’m so glad you did sir [Chorus] Wrap me up in your winter coat Wrap me up so tight I never will feel the cold I’ll be warm tonight____             [Verse 7] Grandaddy tell me the names of all the stars up in the sky Is there a heaven? Do you think there is a life after we die? [Verse 8] Why do some people have all the gold and silver they can spend? Others have nothing It isn’t fair and I’ve always wondered why [Verse 9] Can I hold the match while you light your pipe? I love the smell of tobacco in the air Tell me again about how it was before I came to be In the old country When you were young and you sailed upon the sea [Chorus] Wrap me up in your winter coat Wrap me up so tight I never will feel the cold I’ll be warm tonight____             [Chorus] Wrap me up in your winter coat Wrap me up so tight I never will feel the cold I’ll be warm tonight____ I’ll be safe tonight

La chanson évoque les souvenirs d’un petit-enfant avec son grand-père, se remémorant des moments partagés autour du feu, des récits de voyages et des questions profondes sur la vie et les inégalités du monde. Elle fait référence à la chaleur humaine que l’on trouve dans la relation familiale, ainsi qu'à la protection et à la sécurité que le grand-père offre. Les souvenirs de danse, de musique, et les instants de réflexion sur la vie créent une atmosphère à la fois chaleureuse et nostalgique, soulignant l'innocence et la curiosité de l'enfance.
