Home so fine a green mountain climb
A lot of things have changed with time
Since you were mine
Them pretty little shacks on the mountain's back
They laid 'em down and they put 'em in a stack
It seemed so unkind
There was a country road that I loved so
Where me and my folks would come and go
Through the balance of time
Had a covered bridge on that old road
They tore 'em both down cause they couldn't hold a load
Of ten thousand pounds
Home so fine you were mine at least till I was grown
It just goes to show a man don't know
A good thing till it's gone
There was a water hole where I used to go
And dream all day with my fishing pole
And a pin hook line
And then one day a new highway
Came through the valley now the water won't lay
A foot deep at a time
Home so fine you were mine at least till I was grown
It just goes to show a man don't know
A good thing till it's gone
