Verse 1
A
Tell me about my great -grandfather, Mom.
Yes, ma 'am.
Well, your grandmother, his daughter,
told me that when he was
16 years old,
he joined the Calvary in the Civil War.
So after the Civil War was over,
where it was the end of the tracks.
He got out of the train,
struck out for Bayport,
which was about 80 miles
on the west coast of Florida.
and took him into Bayport
and he decided to stay there.
And he fell in love with a girl,
Elizabeth, from Georgia,
and they built their homestead
and had a family to feed the baby.
They used to have to
milk the wild cows
because that's all there was.
A
E
He worked for the Likes Brothers.
They used to have a pencil factory.
A
E
And he worked for Likes Brothers,
and then he fished.
Their children all left,
spent their old age and passed
away.
But Bayport up there,
I went up there about three years ago.
Except for a big,
long pier out there,
Bayport's just about the same.
Birdie, the only thing permanent is
