Luyện nghe bài hát Forefathers

They came from Scandinavia, the land of sun
And crossed the North Atlantic when this century was
They'd that in America, every man was free
To live the way he to live and be who he could be

of them were farmers there and tilled the frozen soil
But all got was poverty for all their earnest toil
They say one was a sailor, who the wide world round
Made port, got drunk one night, walked off the pier and drowned

My was of Scottish blood, it's there that she was born
They brought her to in 1924
They behind the Highlands and the heather covered hills
And came to America with broad expectant dreams and iron wills

My grand dad worked the mills of Central Illinois
His daughter was his jewel, his son was his boy
For thirty years he worked the mills, and the coke fed fires
And toward the day when he had last turned
Sixty-five and retire

And the sons become the fathers and their daughters be wives
As the is passed from hand to hand
And we through our lives
Though the wander, the lineage survives
And all of us, from to dust
We all become by and by

Woman and the man were wed, just the war
And settled in this river town and three fine sons she bore
One became a lawyer and one fine drew
One became lonely soul
Who sits now and sings this song to you

And the become the fathers and their daughters will be wives
As the torch is passed from to hand
And we struggle our lives
Though the wander, the lineage survives
And all of us, from dust to
We all become by and by

By and by
By and by
