Jook Bourke - Granddad's Face lyrics
Granddad came through Ellis Island, with my dad by his side Got a job working down in the coal mines, but sometimes coal miners die Granddad, I want to tell you, about the grandchild you never knew. I'm the son of your first son, and I must look something like you. They say you thought a camera, would steal part of your soul But why there are no photographs, nobody knows for sure. And I will never see you face, touch your hand or look into your eyes. But surely I can see you in faces that look like mine. I've been to County Mayo, in West Ireland, and stood on your old farm. Imagined I could see you, and Grandma standing arm and arm. But since you worked in the coal mines, Grandma was left alone. And I will never see your face, but I've been to your Irish home. |
