- Description
Welsh folk song
Song is in word notation only. Mr. Jones says there is no music notation that he knows of.
Sentiment of the verses of the song:
1.
My old grandmother had a stick
It was as straight as it could be
It was used before there were any railroad trains;
It carried grandmother wherver she wished to go,
Even to the grave, with never an argument.
2.
With this stick she had help
To church up on the hill
Thru summer, winter, ice, and snow.
3.
When but a child I used to
Skip to Granny's house
Without mother knowing
4.
But now she has gone to her grave
She no longer needs the stick (in heaven)
