[Verse 1]
G B7 C GIt's been ten long years since I left my home
G G D7 D7in the holler where I was born,
G B7 C Gwhere the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise
G D7 G G G Gand the fox hunter blows his horn
[Verse 2]
G B7 C GI fell in love with a girl from the town,
G G D7 D7I thought that she would be true.
G B7 C GI ran away to Charlottesville
G D G Gand worked in a sawmill or two.
[Chorus]
D GWhat have they done to the old home place?
A7 D7Why did they tear it down?
G B7 C GAnd why did I leave my plow in the field
G D7 G Gand look for a job in the town?
