Heritage
Duke Ellington
[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh, oh
[Verse]
My mother, the greatest and the prettiest
My father, not handsome but the wittiest
My, my granddaddy, natural born proud
My grandma, so gentle, so fine
The folks before me laughed and sang loud
'Bout the beautiful women in this family of mine
Our homestead, the warmest hospitality
In me you see the very least of the family tree personality
I was raised in the palm of the hand
Of the very best people in this land
From sun to sun their hеarts beat as one
My mother, my fathеr and love
