It's been ten long years since I left my home
In the holler where I was born
Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise
And the fox hunter blows his horn
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 saw mill too
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 terrors took all my pay
And here I stand where the old home stood
Before they took it away
Now the geese fly south and a cold wind blows
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
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?
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?
