Story behind the song
A typical Bluegrass ballad
Lyrics
The 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 makes the wood smoke rise (glow bright?) And the fox hunter blows his horn I feel 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 you done to the old home place Why did they tear it down And why did I leave the plow in the fields And look for the 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 blows 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
