My, Oh My, Oh What a Family
(Hilliard-Cunningham Family)
Tune: "Battle Hymn of the Republic"
We celebrate the memory of our glorious history
As we came from Mother Africa, oer a wild and stormy sea,
As we overcame "the struggle" to become a nation free,
While God has led us on
CHORUS:
My, Oh My, Oh What a Family
My, Oh My, Oh What a Family
My, Oh My, Oh What a Family
Our God has led us on
Twas from the State of Georgia that our BUNK and MARY came
Through hills and barren lands and rivers wide to Texas came
They took on the name of HILLIARD and made it one of fame
While God was leading on
CHORUS:
My, Oh My, Oh What a Family
My, Oh My, Oh What a Family
My, Oh My, Oh What a Family
Our God has led us on
With fourteen sons and daughters, some who joined the CUNNINGHAMS
Through the bonds of matrimony with the John and Quincy Mae clan
Then cam hordes of sons and daughters 'til they covered all the land ...
While God was leading on'
CHORUS:
My, Oh My, Oh What a Family
My, Oh My, Oh What a Family
My, Oh My, Oh What a Family
Our God has led us on
Now you'll find them oer the country, yes from sea to shinning sea,
You can tell them when you see them, cause they'll all look just like me HILLIARD-CUNNINGHAM, the family, all came from the same old tree
And God has led us on
CHORUS:
Thank goodness My, Oh My, Oh What a Family
My, Oh My, Oh What a Family
My, Oh My, Oh What a Family
Our God has led us on
