Summary

• Welsh folk song
• Song is in word notation only. Mr. Jones says there is no music notation that he knows of.
• Sentiment of the verses of the song:
• 1.
• My old grandmother had a stick
• It was as straight as it could be
• It was used before there were any railroad trains;
• It carried grandmother wherver she wished to go,
• Even to the grave, with never an argument.
• 2.
• With this stick she had help
• To church up on the hill
• Thru summer, winter, ice, and snow.
• 3.
• When but a child I used to
• Skip to Granny's house
• Without mother knowing
• 4.
• But now she has gone to her grave
• She no longer needs the stick (in heaven)
