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 the frozen soil
But all they got was poverty for all their toil
They say one was a sailor, who sailed the world round
home port, got drunk one night, walked off the pier and drowned

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

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

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

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

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

By and by
By and by
