Ballad of my Mother's Mothers
(Refrain)
Oh mother may I never
Break the chain of faith
That binds us to your mother
Who taught us about grace
That binds us to her mother
Who didn't know her place
With my sister and my brother
We'll keep running the race
I
Great gran was grand a feisty dame
A teacher and scotch lass
She was town reve with a good name
Native friend full of class
II
Gran's father was a Norwegian
She married a sad man
Widow found a man from Sweden
Uffda feda Nemen
III
Small girl from a small prairie town
Followed Sis to college
A handsome man was called to preach
Together they have loved
