[00:00:00] The Old Kelly Place - Walter Brennan

[00:00:00] Written by：Cliff Crofford

[00:00:05] I guess there was a time I could have left

[00:00:07] This old place

[00:00:09] As a young man I longed to see more than

[00:00:11] Fields of corn

[00:00:14] I remember once I had a hundred dollars saved

[00:00:18] But dad needed it to put in this old farm

[00:00:22] He used to say son

[00:00:24] You got to put down roots

[00:00:26] Like I done and the kelly's before me

[00:00:30] He'd pick up a handful of that wore out dirty

[00:00:34] And I knowed I was in for this familiar old story

[00:00:39] You know that forty acres we got in corn this year

[00:00:44] Your great grand daddy cleared that land

[00:00:48] With two big mules and sweat and tears

[00:00:52] And a good woman who lent him a hand

[00:00:57] And when he give out before his time

[00:01:01] Them boys of his hand land of their own

[00:01:05] So you see all of this that I call mine

[00:01:09] Is more in the neighborhood of just a loan

[00:01:14] From father to son son

[00:01:16] Through a hundred years hundred years

[00:01:18] For generations still unknown

[00:01:23] Every kelly every kelly passin' through this way

[00:01:26] Through this way

[00:01:27] Will know this place know this place as home

[00:01:34] Yet dad had a way of tellin' that story

[00:01:38] Sorta kept me a lingerin' on

[00:01:42] While all my younger brothers drifted away one by one

[00:01:47] But I couldn't leave him alone

[00:01:51] And today when that oldest son of mine

[00:01:56] Got to talkin' about places he longed to see

[00:02:00] I told him once again that old familiar story

[00:02:05] Just the way it was told to me

[00:02:08] From father to son to son

[00:02:10] Through a hundred years hundred years

[00:02:13] For generations still unknown unknown

[00:02:17] Every kelly every kelly passin' passin' through this way

[00:02:20] Through this way

[00:02:23] Will know this place as home
