Same old blues in the city, just like on the farm, wrong way of making money, lead a good boy on, need to get on home and ask grandma when the devil says yes.
And the lord says no, got to make up your mind which way to go, bet your bottom dollar grandma always knows.
So ask grandma, don't think twice, ask grandma, she'll give you good advice.
When I think about Georgia, I had a real good time, when I think about lonesome, about to lose my mind, ain't gonna pick no more cotton, I'll leave it all behind.
Ask grandma, child, don't think twice, ask grandma, she'll give you good advice.
Now when you know it's right, go head on, when you know it's wrong, better leave it alone, if you're really not sure about it, ask grandma, ask grandma.
Don't think twice, ask grandma, she'll give you good advice.
Ask grandma, she won't lie, you may not know it now, but you'll understand it by and by.
