Asetha Power: Music
Nanny Grace
(Asetha Power)
I. I wear your ring with a stone for each month
A saphire for Jane, Alexandrite for mom
Three stones are worn down and two are loose
From you scrubbing clothes and curing moose
Nanny Grace there's so much to do
Chorus:
I'm happy living
the life I've got
My love's returned
My prayers aren't lost
I'm happy living
the life I've got
By the grace of God
II. You'd draw cold water from the well outside
Boil it to clean and cook supper for five
You served big spreads of pound cake and meats
Made little lunches of melba and cheese
Nanny Grace you sure aimed to please
III. There was strength in your hands from providing for all
Hand knit sweaters and cross-stitched dolls
You said few words but I saw in your eyes
You felt let down by the passing time
Nanny Grace you sure loved life
