Luyện nghe bài hát Forefathers

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

Some of them were farmers there and tilled the soil
But all they got was poverty for all 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 mother was of Scottish blood, there that she was born
brought her to America in 1924
They left behind the and the heather covered hills
And came to find America with expectant dreams and iron wills

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

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

and the man were wed, just after the war
And they settled in this river town and three fine sons she
One became a lawyer and one pictures drew
One became this lonely
Who sits here now and this song to you

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

By and by
By and by
