The Day They Closed The Factory Down (Live) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]

Written by：Harry F. Chapin[00:00:03]

She said I watch him walk down main street[00:00:34]

A sweet one man parade[00:00:37]

He'd tip his hat and just like that[00:00:39]

Another score he'd made[00:00:41]

I'd watch the girls all watch him[00:00:44]

Moths drawn to the flame[00:00:46]

The money showed the laughter flowed[00:00:48]

From the way he played the game[00:00:51]

He played the game[00:00:55]

Some said he was a rambler[00:01:06]

Some said he was a rake[00:01:09]

Some said he was a gambler[00:01:11]

Some said he was a fake[00:01:13]

But I knew him like no one else[00:01:15]

A gentleman was he[00:01:18]

His days belonged to himself[00:01:20]

His nights belonged to me[00:01:22]

Belonged to me[00:01:27]

And they're talkin' in the town square[00:01:32]

In the taverns and the shops[00:01:35]

I hear them talkin' everywhere[00:01:37]

Their talkin' never stops[00:01:39]

But all their words of wisdom[00:01:42]

Won't make you go away[00:01:44]

The day they closed the factory down[00:01:47]

They had nothing[00:01:49]

Nothing left to say[00:01:52]

She said I take care of my momma now[00:02:04]

Since my father died[00:02:06]

I'm raising baby brother too[00:02:10]

The way my father tried[00:02:12]

His thirty years in the factory[00:02:16]

Ended in that furnace blast[00:02:18]

But they settled up for ten bucks a week[00:02:21]

And the bitterness is past[00:02:24]

It did not last[00:02:28]

Talkin' talkin' talkin'[00:02:44]

So they're moving somewhere else now[00:02:52]

With their cloths and fabric press[00:02:55]

They found themselves another town[00:03:00]

Where they'll make shirts for less[00:03:02]

And that is why he said last night[00:03:07]

He won't watch the old town die[00:03:09]

But I would not take what he tried to leave[00:03:14]

When he told me' good bye'[00:03:16]

Oh it's good bye[00:03:21]

And they're talkin' in the town square[00:03:26]

In the taverns and the shops[00:03:29]

I hear them talkin' everywhere[00:03:31]

Their talkin' never stops[00:03:33]

But all their words of wisdom[00:03:36]

Won't make you go away[00:03:38]

The day they closed the factory down[00:03:41]

They had nothing[00:03:43]

Nothing left to say[00:03:46]

So they're talkin' of the changes[00:03:57]

The closing brings about[00:04:00]

Talkin' of the hard times[00:04:05]

And the young folks moving out[00:04:07]

Yes they're talking as if talking[00:04:12]

Can make everything all right[00:04:14]

But all the talking ever done[00:04:19]

Won't bring him back tonight[00:04:21]

Oh tonight[00:04:26]

And they're talkin' talkin' talkin' talkin'[00:04:31]

Talkin' in the shops[00:04:34]

I hear them talkin' everywhere[00:04:36]

Their talkin' never stops[00:04:38]

But all their words of wisdom[00:04:41]

Won't make you go away[00:04:44]

The day they closed the factory down[00:04:48]

They had nothing[00:04:50]

Nothing left to say[00:04:54]
