G B7 C G
G D G
[Verse 1]
G B7 C G
It's been ten long years since I left my home
D
In the holler where I was born
G B7 C G
Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise
D G
And the fox hunter blows his horn
G B7 C G
I fell in love with a girl from the town
D
I thought that she would be true
G B7 C G
I ran away to Charlottesville
D G
And worked in a sawmill or two
[Chorus]
D G
What have they done to the old home place?
A7 D7
Why did they tear it down?
G B7 C G
And why did I leave my plow in the field?
D G
And look for a job in the town?
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G B7 C G
Well, the girl ran off with somebody else
D
The tariffs took all my pay
G B7 C G
And here I stand where the old home stood
D G
Before they took it away
G B7 C G
Now the geese fly south and the cold wind blows
D
As I stand here and hang my head
G B7 C G
I've lost my love, I've lost my home
D G
And now I wish that I was dead
[Chorus]
D G
What have they done to the old home place?
A7 D7
Why did they tear it down?
G B7 C G
And why did I leave my plow in the field?
D G
And look for a job in the town?
