Old home place

Old home place - United States Navy Country Current

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 smoke grafe

And the fox hunter blows him horn

I 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 two

What have they done to

The old home place

Why did they tear it down

And why did I leave my plow

In the field

And look for a job in the town

The girl ran off with

Somebody else

The tariffs took all my pay

And here I stand

Where the old home stood

Before they took it away

The geese fly south

And the cold wind blows

As I stand here hang my head

I lost my love and lost my home

And now I wish that I was dead

What have they done to

The old home place

Why did they tear it down

And why did I leave my 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 my plow

In the field

And look for a job in the town

And why did I leave my plow

In the field

And look for a job in the town
