THE DAY THE SAW MILL CLOSED DOWN

|
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
|
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
|
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
|
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
|
No longer do mill hands live here
|
The giant saws don't make a sound
|
No longer does my love live here
|
Not since the saw mill closed down
|
She left when the saw mill closed down
|
