Visiting Kinfolks Like a lot of young people I moved away after school In search of adventure And to make my way in the world I go home for a visit From time to time To catch up on what's happening And find out who's still alive On a recent trip back We went to see those that are gone to pay respects to their memories And chech out the stones There were grandparents there From both sides And that's my old aunt and uncle Lying side by side I was the tour guid Because I know all their names Some had stories that I remembered That I told in their place We found one stone With the dates all wrong It had someone buried Before they were born Now that fellow over there Used to be our neighbor He'd tell me stories all day But he was afraid of labor I helped dig this grave Me, and some friends got together Back when people helped each other No matter what the weather It's easy visiting these kinfolks Because they're all in one place I'll keep them living in my memories With a smile and tears on my face
