Old Home Place Lyrics

by Dave Dudley

(They're selling the homeplace today)

Yeah they're sellin' me out today just lost too much money too many years in a row

And since pa died I ain't got no help

Ma was waitin' for quite some time before she went to join pa

And all the rest of the poor souls upstairs now I can't keep my notes so long to stay

So they're sellin' that old homeplace lock stock and barrel

There's ma's old churn they're sellin' that right now

Many hours I'd pass that old rescal see that nail up there on the handle

I pinched my finger on that many a time wore some blisters too

It's sold oh they're all gone there goes pa's old windup clock

Many a night I watched him wind that old clock

With a prayer on his lips for a better tomorrow dad's gone so's the old clock

And that organ ma played many a Sunday afternnon use to entertain us

And company too when they'd come over to us

For some good churn music and good time numbers it's sold

There's that Sue yeah that's her I called her my first girl friend

And that's doggone she's married now got two kids real fine husband

Bet she's happy too hope so

There it went hey there comes them old mules Dolly and Polly

And that doggone Dolly Brown-show-off she always did that

A faithful pair though never quit worked all day

Took what bit of hay you had to give 'em at night for supper

And ready to go back again at it the next day they're sold sold so's my soul

The Good Book says as you sow so shall you reap

And boys I sure made a poor crop this year yeah they're sellin' me out this year

The banker gave me some good pocket money and said he was sorry

Sorry well so am I they're sellin' that old place out today

And let me tell you it hurts a little bit too (they're selling the homeplace today)
