G G                  B7 B7          C C             G G 
It's been ten long years since I left my home
D D
In the hollow where I was born.
G G B7 B7 C C G G
Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise,
D D G G
And a fox hunter blows his horn.


I fell 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.


D D G G
What have they done to the old home place,
A A D D
why did they tear it down?
G G B7 B7 C C G G
And why did I leave the plow in the field,
D D G G
and look for a 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 moans
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.
