_2.
I am proud, I am proud, I am proud
    of my forefathers
And I sing about their story
For they spoke a foreign language and
    they labored with their hands
The same way you do my friends.

Chorus.



*Repeat third line.
_3.
I am proud, I am proud, I am proud
    of my forefathers
And I sing about their patience
For the work they did was lowly and
    they dirtied up their clothes
*And they spoke a foreign language and
    they labored with their hands
*And they came from far away to a
    land they didn't know
The same way you do my friends.

Chorus.
