NOW WE ALL TRIED TO STOP HIM
GOT HIM IN A GAME OF CARDS
BUT HE SNUCK OUT THE BATHROOM WINDOW
AND QUIETLY HE SNUCK OUT TO THE BARN
IN THE FRESH FALLIN SNOW
HAD HIS HAND FROZE TO THE BRIDLE
HOOKING HIS JOHN DEER UP TO GO
CAN'T HELP BUT SEE THE MISSING CHAIR
OUT SIDE THE SNOW IS SOFTLY FALLING
REMINDS US OF OLD GRANDPA'S FALLING HAIR
SHE'S BEEN DRINKING TOO MUCH BEER
GIVING GRANDPA JOHNSON,PURPLE HOOTERS
AND COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS, FOR NEW YEARS
AND THE FAMILY ALL IS FIGHTNING
THE LAWYER MADE IT VERY CLEAR
NOT ONE OF US GETS ANY MONEY
GRANDPA LEFT IT ALL TO HIS JOHN DEER
SO WE ALL LAUGHED LIKE CRAZY
TIL THE LAWYER READ THE WILL
IT WAS ALL WRITTEN VERY PLAIN AND SIMPLE
THE JOHN DEER WENT TO HIS BEST OLD FRIEND BILL
