Versuri Forefathers
They came from Scandinavia, the land of midnight
sun
And crossed the North Atlantic when this century
was young
They'd heard that in America every man was free
To live the way he chose to live and be who he
could be
Some of them were farmers there and tilled the
frozen soil
But all they got was poverty for all their
earnest toil
They say one was a sailor who sailed the wide
world round
Made home port, got drunk one night, walked off
the pier and drowned
My mother was of Scottish blood, it's there that
she was born
They brought her to America in 1924
They left behind the highlands and the
heather-covered hills
And came to find America with broad expectant
dreams and iron wills
My granddad worked the steel mills of central
Illinois
His daughter was his jewel, his son was just his
boy
For thirty years he worked the mills and stoked
the coke-fed fires
And looked toward the day when he'd at last turn
65 and could retire
And the sons become the fathers and their
daughters will be wives
As the torch is passed from hand to hand
And we struggle through our lives
Though the generations wander, the lineage
survives
And all of us, from dust to dust
We all become forefathers by and by
The woman and the man were wed just after the war
And they settled in this river town and three
fine sons she bore
One became a lawyer and one fine pictures drew
And one became this lonely soul
Who sits here now and sings this song to you
And the sons become the fathers and their
daughters will be wives
As the torch is passed from hand to hand
And we struggle through our lives
Though the generations wander, the lineage
survives
And all of us, from dust to dust
We all become forefathers by and by
