Gran Gran keeps a box of spiders.
|
She says they're on me when I sleep.
|
Waiting in the out-house for me.
|
underneath the seat.
|
|
My great-grandmothers bout ninety-seven
|
and she is sure when she gets to heaven,
|
old St. Peter's gonna throw his arms around her and say
|
'I've waited so long for us to meet'.
|
She put the General in a box
|
and buried him behind the Stoney Point Church of Christ,
|
when I was three.
|
|
(and she says) "When the lord comes to take me,
|
I'll die with a smile on, cause He's taking all my pains and fears."
|
She said The Generals last words were
|
"It's hotter than hell in here".
|
|
Gran Gran keeps a box of spiders,
|
or so she told me as a child,
|
and I would hold it in for hours.
|
Too mean to die. Too mean to die. Too mean.
