Hackworth Family Song

[Verse 1]

Back in '64 in a Ricks College dorm

Loni swooned to the tunes of that man.

Allen cast a line, she followed the sign,

And that's how our family began.

[Verse 2]

Jenni, Justin, Jeremy, Kristi, and Jordan

Each child with a life of their own.

With families they've made through sunshine and shade

See how wide our circle has grown.

L to R:   Dr. Kristi, Dr. Jeremy, Loni, Allen, Dr. Jordan, Professonal Photographer Justin, Dr. Jenni

[Chorus]

We're the Hackworth gang, we are proud and give thanks

For the roots of our family tree.

Now our branches grow strong, intertwined we belong.

What we value is family.

[Verse 3]

Our group now is large, but the laughter still flies,

And the joy that we share carries on.

Every other year when Thanksgiving draws near,

It's a blessing to gather as one.

[Bridge]

So hey y'all keep coming back every two years.

Let the stories and memories flow.

For the love that we build is the treasure we yield.

And the roots just help all of us grow.
