Old Home Place — текст песни (Dave Dudley)

(They`re selling the homeplace today)
Yeah they`re sellin` me out today just lost too much money too many years in a row
And since pa died I ain`t got no help
Ma was waitin` for quite some time before she went to join pa
And all the rest of the poor souls upstairs now I can`t keep my notes so long to stay
So they`re sellin` that old homeplace lock stock and barrel
There`s ma`s old churn they`re sellin` that right now
Many hours I`d pass that old rescal see that nail up there on the handle
I pinched my finger on that many a time wore some blisters too
It`s sold oh they`re all gone there goes pa`s old windup clock
Many a night I watched him wind that old clock
With a prayer on his lips for a better tomorrow dad`s gone so`s the old clock
And that organ ma played many a Sunday afternnon use to entertain us
And company too when they`d come over to us
For some good churn music and good time numbers it`s sold
There`s that Sue yeah that`s her I called her my first girl friend
And that`s doggone she`s married now got two kids real fine husband
Bet she`s happy too hope so
There it went hey there comes them old mules Dolly and Polly
And that doggone Dolly Brown-show-off she always did that
A faithful pair though never quit worked all day
Took what bit of hay you had to give `em at night for supper
And ready to go back again at it the next day they`re sold sold so`s my soul
The Good Book says as you sow so shall you reap
And boys I sure made a poor crop this year yeah they`re sellin` me out this year
The banker gave me some good pocket money and said he was sorry
Sorry well so am I they`re sellin` that old place out today
And let me tell you it hurts a little bit too (they`re selling the homeplace today)
