Grandpa came over on the boat
His voice was thick with the old world and smoke
And ran in Chicago, 'til he met my grandma
The he moved to South Bend with his new 14 year old bride

So mamma and Louie and the rest of the family
Lived in a duplex next to my great grandma Baldoni
And believed in the hopes that can grow in a country
Even after my grandma and grandpa went their separate ways

He said "Love who you are, love what it's meant
Live out your love like a new immigrant
