  • 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
