           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

                D                        G
     CHORUS:  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?

           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
