Luyện nghe bài hát Forefathers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By and by
By and by
