Old Home Place 가사

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 smell right 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 charlottsville 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 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 pay And here i stand where the old home stood before they took it away Now geese fly south and the cold wind blows as i stand here and hang my head I lost my love and lost my home, and now i wish that i was dead (chorus)
