The Immigrant
Twos early morn when I boarded the ship
And Mama gave me one last kiss
I walked up on the plank
Scared with a shaking hand
A wave good bye from down below
Mom's face fading I loved her so
For days on end the bow pushed foamy water
The homeland shrank close came the US border
On a cold morning in December
It was Lady Liberty I always remember
Tall and proud she greeted the crowd
All were standing along the rail
She welcomed the young and the frail
How many years have passed
Since that eventful day
How many springtime's in May
Life engulfed me took me into the fold
In the meantime I have grown old
I traveled near and traveled far
All the beautiful places I saw
I became a seasoned rover
And in a heartbeat do it all over.
