Story Behind The Song

I was helping my dad write his memoirs and was caught by the story of his grandfather.

Song Description

Based on the lives of my dad's grandfather and his father

Lyrics

Andrew Jackson Davis went to Butte Montana
Sold whiskey by the barrel
And made a fortune there
He had mansions, wives, and Children
And was famous in the county
When the old man died his family
filed lawsuits for their share

So lift a glass to times now past and
Sing a song to days long gone
Remember those who have gone before
And those who are yet to come
Nothing ever changes
The future has just begun

Thomas Jefferson Davis, lived off of his daddy
Ran off with pretty Sarah on a west bound train
AJ came and got them,
Settled them on some farm land
Sarah worked and Jeff drank but they were married just the same

So lift a glass...
