Donna Hughes - Old Homeplace lyrics
Your rating:
(Dean Webb - Michael Jayne) Boyd Hulin: Vocal, Mandolin Donna Hughes: Background Vocals Greg Luck: Guitar, Background Vocals Jeff Davis: Banjo Johnny Dowdle: Bass It's been ten long years, since I left my home In the holler where I was born Where the cool fall nights, make 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 sawmill or two. Now the girl ran off with somebody else The tariffs took all my pay And here I stand where the old home stood Before they took it away. Now the geese fly south and the cold wind blows As I stand here & hang my head I've lost my home I've lost my love & now I wish that I were dead. Chorus: What have they done, to the old homeplace Why did they tear it down? And why did I leave the plow in the field And look for a job in the town?...
