letra de the blight - nora jane struthers
when i was a child, this forest was thick
the chestnut trees covered this blue ridge mountain
and in the fall, we’d go out and gather the ?
ripe from the ground, then we’d take them to town
twenty-five cents a pound to buy new shoes
now i am old, my hair has gone grey
and the trees are all gone, they’ve hauled them away
life will never be the same
as a young man, i walked, my axe in my hands
to search out the carcasses dead where they stand
until the logger men came with their canvassed ??
sawed into planks all the trees that remain
for they were dead just the same
whether they tore them down
now i am old, my hair has gone grey
and the trees are all gone, they’ve hauled them away
life will never be the same
each man’s heart was pained as we cleared out the dead
the forest floor bloodied with bark brownish-red
a branch line was built alongside this creek
but as they finished the job, even the ties were torn up
and loaded on top as the train rolled away
now i am old, my hair has gone grey
and the trees are all gone, they’ve hauled them away
life will never be the same
now i am old, my hair has gone grey
and the trees are all gone, they’ve hauled them away
life will never be the same
no, life will never be the same
