They come down from[00:00:06]
Washington[00:00:07]
City To our[00:00:08]
Blue Ridge[00:00:09]
Mountain home[00:00:09]
And across that crooked river[00:00:11]
To the valley down below[00:00:13]
I was swimmin' in that water[00:00:17]
When they came up to the shore[00:00:19]
Sayin' sorry son this won't be[00:00:21]
Yes and my home town[00:00:27]
Is a half mile down[00:00:30]
It's a half mile o' water[00:00:33]
All around all around[00:00:35]
My home town is a half mile down[00:00:38]
first they started their surveyin'[00:00:48]
And makin' up their plans[00:00:50]
To flood that peaceful valley[00:00:53]
Just to build[00:00:55]
Watauga dam[00:00:56]
Oh they brought in their bulldozers[00:00:58]
And pushed our homes away[00:01:01]
And they handed me a shovel[00:01:03]
Singin' my home town[00:01:09]
Is a half mile down[00:01:12]
It's a half mile o' water[00:01:14]
All around all around[00:01:16]
My home town is a half mile down[00:01:19]
So they stripped out all the timber[00:01:44]
And they leveled all the land[00:01:46]
And they drilled and dynamited 'til they blew the mountains in[00:01:49]
I tore down my old homeplace[00:01:53]
And I dug up[00:01:56]
Daddy's grave[00:01:57]
And I relocated[00:01:58]
Momma to 14 miles away[00:02:00]
Now I look down on the water[00:02:05]
That rose up on that day[00:02:08]
By the banks of the old[00:02:10]
Watauga Where[00:02:12]
I once used to play[00:02:13]
Yes I look out on that water[00:02:16]
Where they made their big mistake[00:02:18]
Singin' my home town[00:02:27]
Is a half mile down[00:02:30]
It's a half mile of water[00:02:32]
All around all around[00:02:34]
My home town[00:02:37]
Is a half mile down[00:02:39]
It's a half mile of water[00:02:41]
All around all around[00:02:43]
My home town is a half mile down[00:02:46]
