(Si Kahn)
D A D
As a young
man he traveled through Russia
G C D
With his uncle and two
other singers
G A Bm
But they drafted him into the Army
D G A
And he had to escape from there
D A
D
When the guards that they'd bribed at the border
G C
D
Started shooting at him and the others
G A D
They
turned back, but he kept on going
G A D
And kept going for
ninety-two years
D/G A D
We are crossing the border
F#m/G D A
We are crossing the border
D/G A
Bm
We are crossing the border
G A D
Come go, come
go, come go
He got passage to Nova Scotia
Was married in Manitoba
He shoveled
dirt for the Canadian Pacific
Carried hod when the built the hotel
Land was a dollar an
acre
But he was too careful to buy it
So when they found oil on it
He still had the
story to tell
Then he moved down south of the border
By the mills on the Merrimack
River
He pumped gas and kept store for a living
Raised up his daughter and sons
He's
sit at the head of the table
Drinking Haig & Haig pinch bottle whiskey
And I'd wonder how
someone so gentle
Could have done all the things that he'd done
He got old and he
lived by the ocean
I went with my children to see him
He stared through the cataracts at
them
But I think that he saw them just right
We buried him up in New England
And
maybe that's home for the wanderer
But home is where the heart is
And my heart's with my
Zayde tonight
