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.)
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.)
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.)
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.)
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.
She left when the saw-mill closed down.
(Oooo-weee-bee-doo.) (2x)
