- Lyrics
Verse:
It's been ten long years since I left home
The hollow where I was born
Were cool fall nights make the woods grow fast
And foxhunter blows his horn
I fell in love with a girl from the town
Thought that she would be true
I ran away to Charlottesville
And worked in a sawmill or two
Chorus:
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
Verse:
Now the girl ran off with somebody else
Tariffs took all my pay
And here I stand were the old home stood
Before they took it away
Now geese fly south when the cold winds blow
As I stand here and hang my head
I lost my love I lost my home
Now I wish that I was dead
CHORUS: -2x
