| ANCESTOR HUNTING Author unknown I went searching for an ancestor, I cannot find him still. He move around from place to place and did not leave a will. He married, the courthouse burned, he mended all his fences. He avoided any man who came to take the census. He always kept his luggage packed, this man who had no fame, And every 20 years or so, this rascal changed his name! His parents came from Europe; they could be on some list Of passengers to the USA, but somehow they got missed. And no one else anywhere is searching for this man So I play genie solitaire to find him if I can. I'm told he's buried in a plot, with tombstone he is blessed, But the weather took engraving and some vandal took the rest. He died before the county clerks decided to keep records. No family bible has emerged in spite of all my efforts. To top this off, this ancestor, who caused me many groans, Just to give me one more pain, betrothed a girl named JONES! |
