Irish father sang this song about a grandmother who left a chair to the son? "My grandmother she at the age of 83 She up and died.

"How they titter How they laughed"

when all he got from the will was a chair

the chair collasped and he found money..

It's not much to go on but that's all I have.

Nothing very Irish, I'm afraid. Turn of the century English music hall. I have a version of the words. Will post them later.

Bob Davenport recorded this for Leader (or Trailer) probably about 1970.

Sadly the chorus is all I know but if i helps...

How they tittered. How they chaffed.
How my brothers and my sisters laughed.
When they heard the lawyer declare.
Grandma's left to you her old armchair
