A-dee-oo-lCeh-hee yGeh-hee oh-Cleh-hee-oooh
Yes my Ggranny is a cripple in CNashville
FThis story I tell you is Ctrue
FOne day, she went out on her wheCelchair
Never knowin' it had a loose Gscrew
GWell a wheel came off of that wheelchair, 
friendCs
And on Fthree wheels it trundled awaCy
And it tFrundled right over the eCdge of a Amcliff
In an D7old sea-side Gtown, far aCway
A-dee-oo-Cleh-hee Gyeh-hee ohC-leh-hee-oooh
Now the Gboy who was pushin the wheCelchair
Was a Flittle blind orphan called CJoe
And Fhe said "Oh where is my Cgranny?"
"And D7where did that damn wheelchair Ggo?"
GWell he ran off to search 
for that wheelchair, friendCs
But his Fsightless eyes led him astrCay
And Fhe ran right over the Cedge of the clAmiff
In that D7old sea-side Gtown, far aCway
A-dee-oo-Cleh-hee Gyeh-hee ohC-leh-hee-oooh
Well Gsomebody sent for a dCoctor
And an Fambulance too, it was cCalled
And the Fpeople who lived in the 
neighbourhoodC  
Stood around and they cried, how they Gbawled
Well the doctor and the ambulance came Crushing, friends
They were Frushing from two different Cways
And they Fcrashed with a biff, 
and shot Cover the clifAmf
In that D7old sea-side Gtown, far awaCy
A-dee-oo-Cleh-hee Gyeh-hee ohC-leh-hee-oooh
Well they Gsent for brave father CMaloney
To Fpray for the poor souls of reCpose
And Fhe said "Well now that we're Cgathered 
here good people" 
"Well we might as well pray I supposGe!"                       
But, too many people had gCathered
And the Fedge of the cliff gave Cway
And they Fdropped with a yell
They all Cshot straight to Amhell
In that D7old, sea-side Gtown, 
so terribly Gfar Caway
A-Cdee-oo-lGeh-hee yehC-hee oh-leh-hee-oooh
