William Watkins. poor but gritty,
Started as a section hand;
Now he lives high in the city;
And he is known throughout the land
Long he had to work away.
But his worth brought recognition;
He's millionaire today,
Filling well his proud position.
He has sons and he has daughters
Who have never had to toll
Who have crossed the briny waters
And have stood on British soil,
Yet they do not sigh to claim
ProNtless ancestral glory,
But, without a blush Of shame.
Tell their self-made fathers story
