Paul Brown Petty

Was a good old man

You felt a little better

When he shook your hand

Let me tell you a little

About him and you'll understand

Why Paul Brown Petty

Was a good old man

He grew up in the depression

And he fought in the war

He never talked too much

About the other shore

But he was real good-looking

In his uniform

Officer Petty in ４４

And you might say hey

What's so great

Sounds like a simple man

He wasn't rich or famous but

To me he sure was grand

He married a girl

From down the street

Built her a house down by a creek

One girl two boys

Five mouths to feed

Paul Brown Petty built a family

He opened a shop down on the square

He'd set you on up

In his barber chair

Get a summertime buzz

Or a real close shave

Get you all cleaned up

Send you on your way

And you might say hey

What's so great

Sounds like a simple man

He wasn't rich or famous but

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
