[MALE SOLOIST (JIMMY MCPHAIL)]
My mother, the greatest and the prettiest
My father, just handsome but the wittiest
My granddaddy, natural born proud
Grandma, so gentle, so fine
The men before them worked hard and sang loud
About the wonderful women in this family of mine
Our homestead, the warmest hospitality
In me you see the least of the family tree personality
I was raised in the palm of the hand
By the very best people in the land
From sun to sun
Our hearts beat as one
My mother, my father and love
