Bobby Bare - Somebody Bought My Old Hometown lyrics

Your rating:

I used to like to listen to the tales of the old men who sat around the old park square

But the piddlers and the whittlers and the checker boards're gone

There's a brand new office building there

And the street known as Maple is much wider now and there are no maples to be found

Since Consolidated Whozit Subdivision of Universal-What-You-Call-It bought my old hometown

[ ac.guitar ]

There used to be good fishin' down along the shady mill stream

You'd see 'em as they jumped and played

But the blue gill and the croppie and the old mill made way

For Chemical Division Section A

They pulled up the flowers planted by the Ladies' Club

And took the city founder statue down

Since Consolidated Whozit Subdivision of Universal-What-You-Call-It bought my old hometown

[ harmonica ]

Yeah the picture show has had it where I used to spend my Saturdays

With Jean and Roy and Pop along

Now the Brotherhood of Gismo Fixers Local 102 is making it their temporary home

They cut down the maples along Maple Street and of course the pool hall came down

Since Consolidated Whozit Subdivision of Universal-What-You-Call-It bought my old hometown
