Grady Johnson was [bad word] man
Four children and some bottom land
Early to bed he said, “Ah, that ain't me
I gotta spend some time with my family”

Left to its own device, May [bad word] June
And children grow up way too soon

So love your neighbor as yourself
Don't use money to measure wealth [bad word] in God but lock your door
Buy low, sell high and slow-dance more

Mamie Johnson was Grady's wife
She bore his children and she graced his life
Hand in hand, side by side
They worked hard to simplify

Some folks have, some have not
What matters most is what you do with what you've got

So love your neighbor as yourself
Don't use money to measure wealth [bad word] in God but lock your door
Buy low, sell high and slow-dance more

And more I think, I understand
What my father's father meant
He said, “Son, what matters most
You can count on just one hand”

Love your neighbor as yourself
Don't use money to measure wealth [bad word] in God but lock your door
Buy low, sell high and slow-dance more
Buy low, sell high and slow-dance more.
