Oh Grandfather by Thomas Rodger Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooooohhh grandfather ooohhhhhh grandfather oooohhhh grandfather
You sadly died before I was born, your occupation was a cook on a fisherman's ship
You looked after my mum really well when she was little
[Chorus]
Oh, Grandfather I never met you but I know your looking down on me from heaven
Oh, Grandfather my mum has chose your name to be my middle name
Oh Grandfather I bet we would have got along so well if u were still here
Oh Grandfather we all miss you and we all still remember you
[Verse 2]
Oohhhh grandfather
I think we would have so many memories for you to talk about like the old days
Of you on a fisherman’s ship
And just talk about the old days
The times of you and my grandmother
Spending time looking after my mum and the other siblings
[Chorus]
Oh, Grandfather I never met you but I know your looking down on me from heaven
Oh, Grandfather my mum has chose your name to be my middle name
Oh Grandfather I bet we would have got along so well if u were still here
Oh Grandfather we all miss you and we all still remember you
[Verse 3]
Ohhhh Grandfather
My mum recently told me that you finished being a fisherman on the 9th August 1966 coincidentally exactly 34 years later I was born on the 9th August 2000
I was so mind blown, I was so shocked that I known
[Chorus]
Oh, Grandfather I never met you but I know your looking down on me from heaven
Oh, Grandfather my mum has chose your name to be my middle name
Oh Grandfather I bet we would have got along so well if u were still here
Oh Grandfather we all miss you and we all still remember you
Ooooohhh grandfather ooohhhhhh grandfather oooohhhh grandfather
You sadly died before I was born, your occupation was a cook on a fisherman's ship
