The Story of Grandma Evelyn

I was born in 1925
I had a brother and two sisters
My father was a flower man
That was in New York City
A long time ago
But my father made up his mind to send us back home

This is the story of grandma Evelyn

When we crossed the Atlantic ocean
I was not satisfied
We arrived in my hometown
It was an ancient land
And then the war begun
But i had no gun
I was living with my sister's husband
They say he wasn't a good man

This is the story of grandma Evelyn

And when the war ended
We returned to the States
But everybody insisted that
I go back to Greece
Well i got married
With a doctor i think
And life went on and on and on
Until he was dead

This is the story of grandma Evelyn

I used to drive a car
But i'm too old for that
I had too many surgeries
And now i cannot walk
I'm laying in my bed
I'm not strong enough
My mind is fading away
My memories are dark

This is the story of grandma Evelyn

I passed away
In 2017
I had a good life
And it was bittersweet

This is the story of grandma Evelyn
