They from Scandinavia
The land of sun
And crossed the North

Made home port--got one night
off the pier and drowned.

And to find America
With broad, dreams

Of central

His son was his boy
For thirty years he worked the

And they in this river town
And fine sons she bore
One a lawyer
And one fine pictures
And one this lonely soul
Who here now
And sings this to you.
