phish - old home place lyrics
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 wood smoke rise
and the fox hunter blows his h-rn
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 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?
well the girl ran off with somebody else
the taverns took all my pay
and here i stand where the old home stood
before they took it away
now the geese they fly south and the cold wind blows
as i stand here and hang my head
i’ve lost my love and i’ve lost my home
and now i wish that i was dead
