Deep in the ship
Dark and dirty
Rats skitter
Lice cling
I’m hungry, mama
Dream of pierogi, child
Sweet cheese
Sauerkraut
Doughy pillows
Fried in puddles of butter
Soon we see the big copper lady with the torch
Deep in a ship
Dark and dirty
Bound for Texas
Stowaway teen
hollow belly
Dreaming of kielbasa
America
Hard work, good life, hard work, good life
Pierogi and kielbasa, pierogi and kielbasa
Children
Grandchildren
Great grandchildren
Roll the dough, stuff the sausage
Roll the dough, stuff the sausage
No one hungry
