To me, he sure was grand

He was a Cumberland Presbyterian

He went up to meet his Maker in 91

Sometimes when I talk about him,
I get sad

You see, Paul Brown Petty
was my granddad

His courage runs down in my blood
His kindness in my eyes

If you can see a man in me
He's the reason why

Paul Brown Petty
was a good old man

You felt a little better
when he shook your hand

And if you could've known him,
you'd understand

Why Paul Brown Petty
was a good old man
