Grandma's Quilt With a Hidden Treasure
I got a letter from a very old friend
She said my grandma's life has come to an end
My grandma lived so many miles and states away
I tried to get her to move, she said it's here I'll stay
There was a time the farm was pretty nice
In my younger years I stayed there once or twice
My friend said there's no point in you traveling out here
The place is so run down you couldn't trade it for a bottle of beer
So I went there anyway because I figured what have I got to loose
The farm is a shack on a dirt road and all I got is dirt in my shoes
As the dust settled down something was becoming clear for me to see
Hanging on the railing was a quilt and nearby her dog covered with fleas
Looking all around this barren land thinking well isn't this just my luck
Finding the right folks and do some fancy talking I might make a few bucks
As I was doing my planning I spotted a tattered note pinned to the quilt
It said, pull a few threads, in the lining there's enough for a mansion to be built
