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. | 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. |
