Good Advice Songtext
von J.B. Lenoir

Grandma told me, it was a good advice
What grandma told her, it was a good advice
My grandma told me, it was a good advice
J.B. you keep on goin′ if you're sure you′re right

You strain out a gnat, you swallow a camel
A wild man beg but a fool he gamble
A barking dog is soon to bite
What's done in the dark will come to the light
You can't tell a farmer from a lover
You can′t judge a book just looking at the cover

Grandma told me, it was a good advice
What grandma told me, it was a good advice
My grandma told me, it was a good advice
J.B. you keep on goin′ if you're sure you′re right


A weak brain and a narrow mind
Has caused so many mens to be left behind
I hear, see, a mighty few know
Many once start, but a very few go
The darkest part of night is just before day
And when the cat is gone, the mouse he will surely play

What grandma told me, it was a good advice
What grandma told me, it was a good advice
My grandma told me, it was a good advice
J.B. you keep on goin' if you′re sure you're right

You fight the fire, you the fan the flames
Time will change everything
A eye for a eye, a tooth for a tooth
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
Now if a man don′t work, he's bound to steal
Because the grass look green in them other field

Grandma told me, it was a good advice
What grandma told me, it was a good advice
What grandma told me, it was a good advice
J.B. you keep on goin' if you′re sure you′re right
