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?...
