[Verse 1]
G B7 C G
It's been ten long years since I left my home
G D
In the hollow where I was born
G B7 C G
Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise
G D G
And the foxhunter blew his horn
[Verse 2]
G B7 C G
I fell in love with a girl in the town
G D
I thought that she would be true
G B7 C G
I ran away to Charlottesville
G D G
And worked in a sawmill crew
[Chorus]
D G
What have they done with the old home place
A7 D
Why did they tear it down
G B7 C G
And why did I leave the plow in the field
G D G
And look for a job in the town
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G B7 C G
The girl ran off with somebody else
G D
The taverns took my pay
G B7 C G
And now I stand where the old home stood
G D G
Before they took it away
[Verse 4]
G B7 C G
Now the geese fly south and the wind grows cold
G D
As I stand here and hang my head
G B7 C G
I've lost my love, I've lost my home
G D G
And now I wish that I was dead
[Chorus]
D G
What have they done with the old home place
A7 D
Why did they tear it down
G B7 C G
And why did I leave the plow in the field
G D G G N.C.
And look for a job in the town
