Delaney Place by Lake Fork Verne
Delaney Place
D G
When I was a kid, we lived on the Delaney Place
A D
My dad was the hired- man
G
Everyday was a regular rat- race
A D
But now I know it was part of a bigger plan
[Chorus]
D G
Shucking corn by hand in the Fall
A D
One cent a bushel was the pay
G
Milking cows and slopping hogs and all
A D
Worked long and hard for a dollar a day
D G
The rooms in the old house had high ceilings
A D
Wall paper kept out the wind and the dust
G
I remember with mixed feelings,
A D
Featherbeds, heavy comforts, to keep warm, a must
D G
Come Winter, the sows had their litter
A D
There was always a runt who was pushed away
G
We?d bring it inside and spoon feed milk its dinner
A D
Till it was warm and strong enough to make its way
[Chorus]
D G
Shucking corn by hand in the Fall
A D
One cent a bushel was the pay
G
Milking cows and slopping hogs and all
A D
Worked long and hard for a dollar a day
D G
Just as the winters were cold
A D
The summers were just as hot
G
Many times I have been told
A D
We slept out in the yard on a mattress or cot
D G
Mr. Delaney was a rich old man
A D
But he treated us pretty nice
G
Cause my dad was a good hired man
A D
We had shelter so long as Dad paid the price
[Chorus]
D G
Shucking corn by hand in the Fall
A D
One cent a bushel was the pay
G
Milking cows and slopping hogs and all
A D
Worked long and hard for a dollar a day
