about

I waited 20 years to get this out of my head. Hope it was worth the wait.

lyrics

My Grandfather and a few of his friends
gather round as the work day ends
it's always the same
just small-talk and advice
the same old stories
but it's always nice

The one about the lake flood
in I think: 45'
'A dog on a hotwire'
'land they couldn't buy'
'Miles Allison and the dynamite'
Grandpa 'd tell that one and laugh till he cried

So when I'm gone away
Would you do this for me
Promise me you'll tell
My ghost stories

'The one about the big fish
that Emmett lost'
cigar burned the line in two...
showing it off
How great Grandpa and I ended up
with the same name
It's a good story, A little long but
anyway
A milk-cow that got traded for a hound
How Grandpa 'd pet the cat if
no one was around
'When Pee-Wee Ward opened the flood-gate
to the St. Francis'
The fisherman and tourists
all nearly drowned

So when I'm gone away
Would you do this for me
Promise me you'll tell
My ghost stories

So please listen close
to the Old Ghosts
They've still got a lot
lot to say

And it won't be long
You and I'll become
I promise one day
We'll be Ghost Stories
