Il testo della Old home place

It's been ten long years since
I left my home in the hollow where i was born.
Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise,
And a 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.

What have they done to the old home place,
Why did they tear it down?
And why did i leave the plow in the field, and look for a job in the town?

Well, the girl ran off with somebody else the taverns 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 moans as i stand here and hang my head.
I've lost my love, i've lost my home and now i wish that i was dead.

What have they done to the old home place,
Why did they tear it down?
And why did i leave the plow in the field, and look for a job in the town?

Well, the girl ran off with somebody else the taverns took all my pay.
And here i stand where the old home stood before they took it away.

What have they done to the old home place,
Why did they tear it down?
And why did i leave the plow in the field, and look for a job in the town?
