===============================
Grandpa had a piano,
it was built in 1904
He brought it down from Sydney town
before the First World War
He'd sit down and crack his knuckles
and put his glasses on his head
When he'd start to play, the cat would run
and hide behind the bed
[Well, his right foot stomped the pedals
and his left foot stomped the floor
His wrinkled hands would skip the keys
that wouldn't play no more
He'd play Onward Christian Soldiers
and the window panes would shake
When the man of 87 played his old 88]
The piano sat in a corner on
a sagging hardwood floor
On top was a frame I made for him,
with a picture of the Lord
A faded Baptist Hymnal
took it's place above the keys
We'd take turns sitting by him,
he'd nod to turn the page
[CHORUS]
Well, the old piano's silent now,
it don't ring with joy no more
Except sometimes when the cat jumps down,
when there's someone at the door
I can see him up in Heaven,
with a smile upon his face
When God and all the angels,
let him lead Amazing Grace
[CHORUS]
