The Grand Tour Lyrics

Step right up
Come on in
If you'd like to take the grand tour
Of a lonely house
That once was home sweet home
I have nothing here to sell you
Just some things that I will tell you
Some things I know will chill you to the bone
Over...

   I agree about the wife dying along with the baby. There is no other explanation for leaving everything including the jewelry.

   I knew the songwriter, George Richey, and while I never asked him when he was alive, a mutual friend claims that it is a simple song about a wife leaving her husband. I don't buy it. I did not know George well, but he seemed a fairly complex fellow, and I believe the song refers to a man's wife who died, with their child, probably in childbirth.
   Between this song and "He Stopped Loving her Today," you could cry a river.

   I have felt for a long time that his wife and baby died in either a car wreck or child birth.

   i would have said for ages that it was about divorce, but having heard it more and more, i would say that it was more to do with a death of the loved one. this is one of those songs that make you step back and think WOOOOOW!

   Just a song about the love of his life going away for good, either in death or separation thus leaving such an impact on his life he will tell his story over a hundred times and give you the grand tour. He knows he will never meet the same person again.
