Somebody Bought My Old Hometown - Bobby Bare[00:00:01]
Written by:Jack Clemen[00:00:03]
I used to like to listen to the tales of the old men[00:00:05]
Who sat around the old park square[00:00:10]
But the piddlers and the whittlers[00:00:15]
And the checker boards are gone[00:00:17]
There's a brand new office building there[00:00:20]
And the street known as maple is much wider now[00:00:25]
And there are no maples to be found[00:00:32]
Since consolidated whozit Subdivision of[00:00:37]
Universal what you call it[00:00:41]
Bought my old hometown[00:00:44]
There used to be good fishin'[00:00:53]
Down along the shady mill stream[00:00:55]
You'd see 'em as they jumped and played[00:00:58]
But the blue gill and the croppie[00:01:03]
And the old mill made way[00:01:05]
For chemical division section a[00:01:08]
They pulled up the flowers planted by the ladies' club[00:01:13]
And took the city founder statue down[00:01:20]
Since consolidated whozit subdivision of[00:01:24]
Universal what you call it bought my old hometown[00:01:29]
Yeah the picture show has had it where[00:01:40]
I used to spend my saturdays[00:01:43]
With Jean and Roy and pop along[00:01:46]
Now the brotherhood of gismo fixers Local 102[00:01:50]
Is making it their temporary home[00:01:56]
They cut down the maples along maple street[00:02:01]
And of course the pool hall came down[00:02:08]
Since consolidated whozit subdivision of[00:02:13]
Universal what you call it bought my old hometown[00:02:17]
