lyrics

My Grandfather farmed this land when the last century was still a baby
He fought in the African War came to this island to raise a family
A farmer and a miner the weigh man at number five
Bending his back to keep his family alive.

Chorus
We're still here Grandpa we're still on the land
We're still here Grandpa everyday working men
And we help each other whenever we can
My three brother's and my old man

The wheels of time rolled on your only son had to go to war
And when he returned you weren't there to help him anymore.
You gave him your love and you left him your pride
And though I never knew you Grandpa I think I realize

Why we're here Grandpa we're still on the land
Why we're here Grandpa everyday working men
And we help each other whenever we can
My three brother's and my old man
My three brothers and my old man
