The Aging American

He comes from the Land of the brown grizzly bear
The aging American with silver gray hair
From western Nebraska a long way from here
He looks fit and well for one in his seventieth year
In the pub he talks of his homeplace far away
His State of Nebraska in the U S of A
And though his wife and children and grandchildren are Aussies like it has been said before
The migrant will always recall the Homeland Shore
The songs that he loved as a Nebraska boy
Of the great Stephen Foster he still does enjoy
A nice enough old bloke locally well known
And to his local community he is one of their own
The accent he was born into he does retain
That bit of his Homeland with him does remain.
