Old Home Place

It's been ten long years since I left my home

In the hollow where I was born

Where the cool fall nights make the woods smell right

And the fox hunter blows him hornI fell in love with a girl from the town

I thought that she would be true

I ran away to Charlottesville

And worked in a sawmill or twoWhat have they done to the old home place?

Why did they tear it down?

And why did I leave the plow in the field

And look for a job in the town?Now the girl ran off with somebody else

Tariffs took all my pay

And here I stand where the old home stood

Before they took it awayAnd now geese fly south and the cold wind blows

As I stand here and hang my head

I lost my love and lost my home

And now I wish that I was deadWhat have they done to the old home place?

Why did they tear it down?

And why did I leave the plow in the field

And look for a job in the town?What have they done to the old home place?

Why did they tear it down?

And why did I leave the plow in the field

And look for a job in the town?

Why did I leave the plow in the field

And look for a job in the town?
