My Father’s Father was a real good man
He grew up in the Chicagoland
Fell in the love with a Polish girl
Loved her more than anyone in the world
My Father’s Father worked hard in life
Supporting his family with a butcher’s knife
Four children born including the twins
Cheering each season for a White Sox win
My Father’s Father loved to laugh and smile
Dressing up to clown around in Clover style
He served his time back in the war
A proud Navy vet and so much more
My Father’s Father was a proud man
Retirement never being part of his plan
He drove that hearse through the city streets
A more confident man you would not meet
My Father’s Father loved his family
Nine grandchildren are his legacy
Two great grandsons he met before he passed
But hopefully they won’t be the last
My Father’s Father was a Christian man
His love for Jesus spent as a Lutheran
Time at church spent in joy and cheer
Singing those hymns for all to hear
My Father’s Father is in heaven now
And we are left to go on somehow
So it’s in the hope that we know is true
That Jesus died for all and especially you
