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
