The Day The Saw-mill Closed Down

Dickey Lee

Intro: ( Verso 1: Her house on the corner of Cedar and Elm.. still stands in our town. But it's been empty since she moved away.. the day that the saw-mill closed down. (Oooo-weee-bee-doo.) Verso 2: We'd sit on her porch almost every night.. I remember how happy we were. We'd grow up and marry I'd work at the mill.. to make a living for her. (Oooo-weee-bee-doo.) Refrão: Her father worked at the mill..like most of the others in town. I lost my girl when he lost his job..the day that the saw-mill closed down. (Oooo-weee-bee-doo.) Verso 3: She moved from the corner of Cedar and Elm..and I never saw her again. But I can still hear her mother's soft voice..saying, honey, it's time to come in. (Oooo-weee-bee-doo.) Verso 4: No lon..ger do mill hands live here..the giant saws don't make a sound. No long..er does my love live here..not since the saw-mill closed down. Final: She left when the saw-mill closed down. (Oooo-weee-bee-doo.) (2x)
