[00:00:01] Somebody Bought My Old Hometown - Bobby Bare

[00:00:03] Written by：Jack Clemen

[00:00:05] I used to like to listen to the tales of the old men

[00:00:10] Who sat around the old park square

[00:00:15] But the piddlers and the whittlers

[00:00:17] And the checker boards are gone

[00:00:20] There's a brand new office building there

[00:00:25] And the street known as maple is much wider now

[00:00:32] And there are no maples to be found

[00:00:37] Since consolidated whozit Subdivision of

[00:00:41] Universal what you call it

[00:00:44] Bought my old hometown

[00:00:53] There used to be good fishin'

[00:00:55] Down along the shady mill stream

[00:00:58] You'd see 'em as they jumped and played

[00:01:03] But the blue gill and the croppie

[00:01:05] And the old mill made way

[00:01:08] For chemical division section a

[00:01:13] They pulled up the flowers planted by the ladies' club

[00:01:20] And took the city founder statue down

[00:01:24] Since consolidated whozit subdivision of

[00:01:29] Universal what you call it bought my old hometown

[00:01:40] Yeah the picture show has had it where

[00:01:43] I used to spend my saturdays

[00:01:46] With Jean and Roy and pop along

[00:01:50] Now the brotherhood of gismo fixers Local 102

[00:01:56] Is making it their temporary home

[00:02:01] They cut down the maples along maple street

[00:02:08] And of course the pool hall came down

[00:02:13] Since consolidated whozit subdivision of

[00:02:17] Universal what you call it bought my old hometown
