my grandmother
Was the mother of the church,

And some days when I would
Abdim
G
get to that old wooden house

Tears would be running down
those wrinkled cheeks

could help

I used to ask her saying, "Why,

you're too young now
You're too young
to understand my tears"

ing," and friends today

And some days when I would
get to that old house

moaning on songs

she wouldn't come out and say the words
And I would say to her,
A
Bm
D
"Why are you moaning like this?"

A
She would say, "Son, when I
Am
D
moan it confuses everybody
G
It confuses the devil, he doesn't know
what I'm moaning about"
Abdim
Now, I may not be able to
moan like a lot of people
D
But I believe I can moan a little
bit like my grandmother
A
If she was still with us today,
Bm
A
she would sound something like this
Verse 9
D
In my mind, I can hear her sometimes
Working, washing and ironing
in that old wooden house
G
Seems like when she would moan, it
D
would make the work easier
G
And in my mind, friends,
Abdim
D
sometimes when I'm rid ing along in the bus
Or flying through the air
A
Bm
I can hear her humming
D
G

Sometime like this, listen
