King Virtue - Granddad's Mississippi Song

When I was just a kid my granddaddy said
You've got to work real hard and take the things you get
But I did not know the effect it had on me
But now I know how much his words effected me

If you work hard then you deserve the things you get
You can be proud of the things you own

He never cut the corners when it came to giving me
The best Sundays of my whole life

I always wish I could've had the trampoline
In the end it ended up teaching me something
I don't need to have all the things I want
I should turn around and cherish what I've got

If you work hard then you deserve the things you get
You can be proud of the things you ow

My granddad spent his whole life on making me believe
(He spent his last talk on making me believe)
That I could truly make something of me

And I'd spell
Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
I feel so lucky
He spent time on me
I would earn money
With each word I'd spell

Spelling
Mathematics
He knew all so well

If you work hard then you deserve the things you get
You can be proud of the things you ow

He never cut the corners when it came to giving me
The best Sundays of my whole life

And I'd spell
Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
Mississippi
I feel so lucky
He spent time on me
I would earn money
With each word I'd spell

He spent time on me
