Old Home Place Lyrics

It's been ten long years since I left my home in the hollow where I was bornWhere 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 trueI ran away to Charlottsville 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, tarriffs took all my payAnd here I stand where the old home stood before they took it awayNow geese fly south and the cold wind blows as I stand here and hang my headI lost my love and lost my home, and now I wish that I was dead(chorus)
