Bobby Bare - Somebody Bought My Old Hometown слова песни
I used to like to listen to the tales of the old men who sat around the old park squareBut the piddlers and the whittlers and the checker boards`re goneThere`s a brand new office building thereAnd the street known as Maple is much wider now and there are no maples to be foundSince 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 streamYou`d see `em as they jumped and playedBut the blue gill and the croppie and the old mill made wayFor Chemical Division Section AThey pulled up the flowers planted by the Ladies` ClubAnd took the city founder statue downSince 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 SaturdaysWith Jean and Roy and Pop alongNow the Brotherhood of Gismo Fixers Local 102 is making it their temporary homeThey cut down the maples along Maple Street and of course the pool hall came downSince Consolidated Whozit Subdivision of Universal-What-You-Call-It bought my old hometown
