**Verse 1** In Medfield town, eighteen fifty-two A blacksmith's son with eyes of brown Young Frank Seaver, curly hair and new First child born as summer came around Lucretia's boy would make her proud Learning life at his father's forge **Verse 2** Met young Hattie in her father's home December wedding, eighteen seventy-four Lancaster Street where flowers bloomed Bantam chickens by the barn door Horse and buggy ready to ride Building dreams with his new bride **Chorus** Frank Seaver of Massachusetts ground Working man with stories to tell From Westminster to Leominster town Living life and living it well (Living life and living it well) **Verse 3** Three fine sons would bless their days Though little Howard left too soon From comb shop worker making his way To superintendent by afternoon Pipe in hand and ready smile Walking tall in dapper style **Chorus** Frank Seaver of Massachusetts ground Working man with stories to tell From Westminster to Leominster town Living life and living it well (Living life and living it well) **Bridge** Seven grandchildren gathered 'round His jolly laugh would fill the air Beer in hand when day was done Living life without a care Time moves on, the seasons change But memories remain the same **Verse 4** Nineteen twenty-two, autumn leaves Called him home to heaven's door Hattie waiting there to meet On Evergreen's peaceful shore Stories told of days gone by Massachusetts lullaby **Outro** Frank Seaver of Massachusetts ground Stories told and stories done Resting now in Leominster town Father, husband, favorite son (Father, husband, favorite son) (Massachusetts favorite son)
