What a legacy
Ole granny died and went to her long reward
The family they never were much for formal religion
Especially the dressing up and sitting variety
They could sit a spell long on a bar stool
A deer stand or a boat seat
Cushioned pews were quite unfitting
Now granny was frugal and never spent what money they knew she had
And when the hired preacher began his eulogy
He kept telling them what a legacy
What a legacy granny left
Not conversant with preacher talk
They just figured this old vicar knew
Something they didn't
So after the burial out behind the church
They hurried home to turn upside down
The old homeplace
Searching for that legacy.
