A# D7 D# A# I ran away to Charlottesville A# F A# A# and worked in a sawmill or two. F A# What have they done to the old home place? C7 F7 Why did they tear it down? A# D7 D# A# And why did I leave my plow in the field A# F7 A# A# and look for a job in the town? | A# | D7 | D# | A# | | A# | A# | F7 | F7 | | A# | D7 | D# | A# | | A# | F7 | A# | A# | | A# | A# | A# D7 D# A# The girl ran off with somebody else, A# A# F7 F7 the tariffs took all my pay. A# D7 D# A# And here I stand where the old home stood A# F7 A# A# A# A# before they took it away. A# D7 D# A# Now, the geese fly south and the cold wind blows A# A# F7 F7 as I stand here and hang my head. A# D7 D# A# I've lost my love, I've lost my home A# F7 A# A# and now I wish that I was dead.
