j.d. crowe & the new south - old home place lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
it’s been ten long years since i left my home
in the holler where i was born
where the cool full nights make the woodsmoke rise
and the fox hunter blows his h+rn

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
what have you 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 3]
well, 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

[verse 4]
now the geese fly south and the cold wind moans
as i stand here and hang my head
i’ve lost my love, i’ve lost my home
and now i wish that i was dead
[chorus]
what have you 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?

[chorus]
what have you 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?
