Bobby Bare - Somebody Bought My Old Hometown lyrics
I used to like to listen to the tales of the old men who sat around the old park square But the piddlers and the whittlers and the checker boards're gone There's a brand new office building there And the street known as Maple is much wider now and there are no maples to be found Since Consolidated Whozit Subdivision of Universal-What-You-Call-It bought my old hometown [ ac.guitar ] There used to be good fishin' down along the shady mill stream You'd see 'em as they jumped and played But the blue gill and the croppie and the old mill made way For Chemical Division Section A They pulled up the flowers planted by the Ladies' Club And took the city founder statue down Since Consolidated Whozit Subdivision of Universal-What-You-Call-It bought my old hometown [ harmonica ] Yeah the picture show has had it where I used to spend my Saturdays With Jean and Roy and Pop along Now the Brotherhood of Gismo Fixers Local 102 is making it their temporary home They cut down the maples along Maple Street and of course the pool hall came down Since Consolidated Whozit Subdivision of Universal-What-You-Call-It bought my old hometown |
