Carl's Pappy Lyrics

In the hills of Pennsylvania, where the tall pines grow

Old Pappy Carl taught me everything I know

From the crack of dawn, 'til the sun went down

He showed me the ways of this old hunting ground

Pappy loved his fishing, on the lake he'd be found

With his old rod and reel, casting all around

Stuffed flounder on the table, Swiss steak for a feast

Pappy's cooking and stories never did cease

Pappy loved his hunting and he loved his fishing too

He taught my dad the ropes, and now I'm passing on the view

With Virginia by his side, his heart was always true

On Will's Mountain, chasing dreams he always knew

Down in Chincoteague, where the wild ponies roam

He'd tell me 'bout the horses and the life back home

Through the misty mornings and the salt sea air

Pappy's stories filled my heart with the love we share

Pappy loved his fishing, on the lake he'd be found

With his old rod and reel, casting all around

Stuffed flounder on the table, Swiss steak for a feast

Pappy's cooking and stories never did cease

When the fire burns low and the stars shine bright

I can hear Pappy's laughter in the still of the night

His legacy lives on in the tales we tell

Of a man who lived his life so darn well

When the fire burns low and the stars shine bright

I can hear Pappy's laughter in the still of the night

His legacy lives on in the tales we tell

Of a man who lived his life so darn well

Pappy loved his hunting and he loved his fishing too

He taught my dad the ropes, and now I'm passing on the view

With Virginia by his side, his heart was always true

On Will's Mountain, chasing dreams he always knew

So here's to Pappy Carl, with his spirit strong and free

In every hunt and every cast, his memory lives in me

With a heart as big as the endless sky above

Pappy's love for life and family, an everlasting love

So here's to Pappy Carl, with his spirit strong and free

In every hunt and every cast, his memory lives in me
