Jaqueline Woodson - The woodsons of ohio lyrics

My father's family can trace their history back to Thomas Woodson of Chillicothe, said to be the first son of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings some say this isn't so but... the Woodsons of Ohio know what the Woodsons coming before them left behind, in Bibles, in stories, in history coming down through time so ask any Woodson why you can't go down the Woodson line without finding doctors and lawyers and teachers athletes and scholars and people in government they'll say, We had a head start . They'll say, Thomas Woodson expected the best of us. They'll lean back, lace their fingers across their chests, smile a smile that's older than time, say, Well it all started back before Thomas Jefferson Woodson of Chillicothe.... and they'll begin to tell our long, long story.
