Strong as an ox, he was tough as a bull He had stories and poems and dirty jokes I came in running with my brother in tow We had dirt on our knees, climbing on his feet to show him He hardly spoke and he cheated at poker If someone got angry, he'd crack a joke It didn't always go over but the kids would laugh Then he'd play in the corner till he closed the gap Oh Tommy I love that one, You used to sing it when you were young Play it again my love For the kids to remember when they grow up I miss my grandfather, the way that we were Singing out of time cause he never finished his words A house full of instruments, now safely with his kids And his music in my bones and in my body when I was built Oh Tommy I love that one, You used to sing it when you were young Play it again my love For the kids to remember when they grow up Tommy I love that one, You used to sing it when you were young Play it again my love For the kids to remember us
this song has me in tears! I need to learn to play this on guitar! My grandpa's name was Tommy and if I played this for my family they'd freak!! You're such an amazing musician!
Its so crazy I found this channel and loved it, and i didnt even realize I’ve followed u on tiktok and loved all of the songs you play on there aswell. Im so happy you have been releasing music .
If only we were all lucky enough to have someone write such an amazing song about us after we pass Leith ... just proves that we all live on
How did they manage to sing this whole song without crying I am blown away
Strong as an ox, he was tough as a bull
He had stories and poems and dirty jokes
I came in running with my brother in tow
We had dirt on our knees, climbing on his feet to show him
He hardly spoke and he cheated at poker
If someone got angry, he'd crack a joke
It didn't always go over but the kids would laugh
Then he'd play in the corner till he closed the gap
Oh Tommy I love that one,
You used to sing it when you were young
Play it again my love
For the kids to remember when they grow up
I miss my grandfather, the way that we were
Singing out of time cause he never finished his words
A house full of instruments, now safely with his kids
And his music in my bones and in my body when I was built
Oh Tommy I love that one,
You used to sing it when you were young
Play it again my love
For the kids to remember when they grow up
Tommy I love that one,
You used to sing it when you were young
Play it again my love
For the kids to remember us
I have never heard such a soulful voice in my life

Just saw Leith Ross Friday night, was deeply moved by the depth of Leith’s shimmering emotion and sweet accompaniments.❤️
i've just found this wonderful singer on Tiktok 😳 and i'm totally obsessed with their songs
hello friend! i’m sure Leith appreciates the compliment very much, but please remember that they use they/them pronouns. thank you
@@eva.b5354 oh dear i didn't know thank you so much friend 🌷✨
just the most beautiful lyrics 'his music in my bones and in my body when I was built' I especially love
this song has me in tears! I need to learn to play this on guitar! My grandpa's name was Tommy and if I played this for my family they'd freak!! You're such an amazing musician!
hey i don't suppose you figured out how to play this on guitar, I'm not clever enough to figure it out for myself but would love to play it
Strong as an ox he was...

This hits me right in my heart, so beautiful
Its so crazy I found this channel and loved it, and i didnt even realize I’ve followed u on tiktok and loved all of the songs you play on there aswell. Im so happy you have been releasing music .
Leith 💜! I just found you and your precious songs on TT. Your voice is amazing 💜 ❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️
I want this guitar-s karaoke 💜💜
Hey, does anyone know who the other person singing on the chorus is? I don’t think it’s Leith, could be wrong.
I'm asking myself the same question
I SEE YOU
