[Intro]           [Verse 1] Grandma’s maiden name was Zone Villines There’s ninety years to tell about in a few short lines Born in Newton County down in Arkansas Then in nineteen-one she married Grandpa We laid her soul to rest one Sunday mornin’ And everybody knew she’d done her part Don’t get set to hear no hidden family legend   Just a song about the life of Grandma Harp [Verse 2]   Just think about the times that she lived through And think about the changing world she saw   Now somehow she reared a decent family out of poverty   And for seventy years she loved the same old Grandpa   To me her passing brought a closing chapter To a way of life that I love within my heart I just mean to say I think we owe her something special   If just a song about the life of Grandma Harp [Verse 1] Grandma’s maiden name was Zone Villines There’s ninety years to tell about in a few short lines Born in Newton County down in Arkansas Then in nineteen-one she married Grandpa We laid her soul to rest one Sunday mornin’ And everybody knew she’d done her part Don’t get set to hear no hidden family legend   Just a song about the life of Grandma Harp   [Outro]
