Bobby Bare - Day The Saw Mill Closed Down lyrics

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
